Minneapolis, Minnesota has been my home for a few days, while here for a conference. It’s been difficult to get a good feeling for the city, since most of my time has been spent shivering in air-conditioned, windowless hotel conference rooms.
Today, I carved out a little time for an early evening stroll through the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
Tomorrow morning, an early walk to the Mill City Farmers Market before the last conference session of the week. It promises to be a nice way to round out this trip, and get a sense of the city’s local food scene before heading back to New Hampshire.
Lovely photos Eleanor. Thanks for sharing these. I especially like the last two and I could completely relate to being shriveled in a hotel conference room.
Thanks, Tammy. Big city hotels are such strangely artificial environments—luxurious and comfortable, maybe, but totally devoid of any connection to the outdoors. Minneapolis has a lot of beautiful public art and, as I learned the next morning at the Mill City Farmers Market, a lively local foods scene. Even in the heat, it was great to get out and discover the city a bit.
