Nina & Pinta


Last Sunday it was sweltering in MN... about 91 degrees and a 70-something degree dew point. That almost kicks an AZ summer day's butt. It was also sweltering across the river in Hudson, Wisconsin however, I have been looking forward to August 8th for a few weeks now and what we saw was worth the "swass".



We went to Hudson to see the "Nina & Pinta". For those of you that are not nerds like Adam and I, those are two of Columbus' ships (the Santa Maria sunk halfway through the first voyage).  These were not the actual ships Columbus sailed, but the Nina we saw is believed to be the most accurate replica ever built. It was built entirely by hand with the same tools and techniques from Columbus' time. 

Enough of my ramblings, here are the pictures.
