After our tour of Niagara Cave we stopped for lunch in Harmony. We had lunch at a very nice restaurant called Quarter Quarter. The food was organic, sustainable and local. I had two appetizers - a caprise salad served in a martini glass and a sweet corn/potato chowder. If I ever get back to Harmony, I would go to this restaurant again. After that we wandered around with no real destination in mind. We hiked for a while on the Harmony-Preston state bike trail. We stopped in Lanesboro and rented a surrey with fringe on the top. The state bike trail through Lanesboro was very busy and we were constantly hearing "On your left!" as we pedaled slowly along. This monstrosity of a surrey was very heavy and we had to pedal even going down hill. But we had fun. We explored the Root River for a while and watched the tubers and kayakers go by. We drove east on Highway 16 all the way to LaCrescent before heading north on Highway 61. We followed the Mississippi all the way home. Saturday was a great day for a drive in the country.
