Minneapolis


Rest, Shopping, Baseball, Cuban Food, California Buddy
After a long day of driving we settled into our two room suite with a living room and bedroom for some much needed rest and relaxation. Andy flew in from California and met up with us the same day to attend yet another ballpark with Richard. They took in two games while I got my shop on at The Mall of America! Slept in, rested, and did our laundry.
Today was a beautiful warm, sunny perfect weather for our tour of the Twin Cities. Northfield is a great little town with old buildings and shops. The original bank is still standing where "The James Gang" was repulsed by the town folk when they attempted to rob the bank. ( Richard is extremely interested in the Wild West History). I enjoy the history as well.We had lunch at a place called Victor's 1959 Cuban Cafe which was featured on the Food Channel, which we took note of it knowing we would be in the area. It was the best meal we have had so far on our trip. Then we drove down Summit Ave. of the most beautiful Victorian homes including that of Tim Pawlenty the Governor of Minnesota.
Bank that was robbed.
