A Walk Around Minneapolis

After a short nap this afternoon we decided to take a stroll down to the Mississippi River. We found that Minneapolis is a beautiful town.

Surrounding the riverfront is a very modern and large city with soaring skyscrapers and an interesting blend of historic and modern architecture:



Of course, we had a lot of fun along the way:
