Minneapolis August 31

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.
