MINNESOTA - MINNEAPOLIS











We sadly checked out of the hotel (we had gotten over the whole pay for parking/breakfast/internet thing - well alright we hadn’t entirely forgiven them but we had decided we needed to move on, until we got the bill that is and we were pissed at them all over again - but that’s another story) and took a short drive downtown where we thought a laundromat was located.
But no. So after asking around we finally found it and spent the next hour or so with half of Minneapolis (obviously what they do on a Sunday - why weren’t they at church?) washing and drying our clothes. Which was lucky as Nic was on her last pair of undies.
After that we went to Loring Park. We walked around looking at the pond, the birds and very strangely, the part of the park that housed the Minneapolis Horse Shoe Pitching Club.
Every park should have one!
We then wandered over to the Basilica of Saint Mary which was the first one built in America and then to the Sculpture park. Which, not surprisingly, was full of sculptures.
We were running short of time to check out the river so we just drove past it and then went to see Americas largest mall. We were only there for an hour or so but it was obvious that it was huge. It even had a theme part for kids in the middle of it.
We stayed the night in Sioux City, South Dakota.
