I knew of Paul Bunyan from my childhood visits to The Enchanted Forest Waterpark in The Adirondaks so I was happy to find that Minnesota also has some Paul Bunyan stories
Above is Adirondack Paul and Bemidji Paul and Babe.
In Minnesota, Paul Bunyan is responsible with creating the 10,000 lakes with his footprints.
Today I went to a new coffee shop in my neighborhood named Blue Ox Coffee Company and the tea was so amazing and the atmosphere so nice that I will definitely be back for writing.
I drink tea so how a coffee shop does tea is important to me. The Blue Ox isn't messing around when it comes to tea. This was the most amazing cup of tea ever. So good in fact that I decided I needed to write about Paul and Babe just so I could talk about this place.
The shop has a few Paul and Babe things including a book of Paul Bunyan tales.
One of my favorite books about Paul Bunyan is Paul Bunyan's Sweetheart by Marybeth Lorbiecki. There's also a statue of Lucette in Hackensack, MN
What's your favorite Paul Bunyan story?

Those statues are so cool! And I need to find a tea shop to work in--yours sounds amazing!
