Thursday – September 4, 2014
I have always loved cities – and the bigger, the better. I didn’t realize I was city-deprived on this trip until we arrived in Minneapolis. I could feel the excitement and my heart beat quickly, with the promise of new things to see and discover as we drove down the streets.
A Couple of Skyways
One of the most unusual (and interesting) characteristics of Minneapolis are the Skyways. These are second-story glass bridges over the streets which connect most of the downtown buildings. There are supposed to be eight miles of interconnecting walkways. Winters must be bitterly cold here.
