Visiting 3

On Saturday morning we decided to be tourists for the day. Our first stop was at the Minneapolis Farmer's Market just west of downtown Minneapolis. This is a big and very interesting market with fabulous vegetables and so much more.

Our second stop was a Nicollet Island to look at the Mpls skyline. Next was a shopping stop at Surdyk's where we stocked up with cheese, pate and wine for our journey through the west. Then it was on to check out the University of Minnesota campus (both Mary and I are alums). From there we got another view of the Mpls skyline.

After dropping our shopping off at the Winnebago we headed south to Savage for a visit with Ryan and Tara Boyd and meet their five month old daughter Alena. Ryan is the youngest son of our friends Neil and Leah Boyd from Forest City.

We concluded the day with preparations to leave on our journey westward. Sunday morning we will head south to Faribualt and then Forest City before turning west.
