Up early, Bought cherry scones and Red White and Blue bread at Great Harvest. Ate scones at coffee shop outside. Minneapolis is a great place. Impossible to go very far before you run into a lake or river. Drove on West River Parkway and encountered four garage sales. Bought a book and a souvenir of the trip. It was more southwest that midwest Native American art but it was collected by a midwesterner. Saw Minehaha Falls. Very beautiful but Rita explained that sometimes it can be dry. They needed to open a fire hydrant for a photo op for a presidential visit. Toured the Veterans Home, beautiful old buildings. Glad to see one state is treating veterans right.
Now for some real civilization: The Mall of America. It has an amusement park right in the middle which makes it a really loud place. Tried to get someone at the Apple Store it help me figure out why I can't send e-mail from my Ipad but we would have needed to waited too long. Hit Rita's favorite bead store instead where I helped her restrain herself from purchasing too many necklaces. Then Rita drove some more and we saw Joan of Art's house. I could't download the pictures Rita sent but I can show you from my e-mail when I visit. This place would be impossible to describe but I bet you can get pictures off the internet.
Rita never stops. We went to the Salvation Army store and I bought two swim suits. Then back to Rita's condo were I got in an hour of exercise before lightening appeared and we went in.
