• Wisconsin and Minnesota

    After Michigan, it's time for Wisconsin. We won't spend a lot of time in this state, just two days for crossing it from east to west. We are not able to really judge this state except it's plenty of nature and lots of wild turkeys beside the road ;)

    Minnesota here we are ! Once again it's not a place we really planed to explore, no offence... The main interest as to visit another part of our US family. Doug, Joe's brother, lives close to Minneapolis .We will meet him and his family at a regular car show.  

    On the parking lot : everybody has his style      Car show

     Thanks to Doug's help, we get our webasto wirings completed : we are now ready for the coldest nights and mornings (even if we don't intend to face cold weather).

    Being there, we decide to quickly visit Minneapolis and see the Mall of America, the biggest mall in the US. 

    You can fin rollercoasters inside      And a aquarium

     

    Here we find a little restaurant specialized in shrimps... Some of us will find the place familiar. For the others, just run to rent "Forest Gump" ;)

    We were also impressed by the Legoland. Huge carvings are exposed everywhere.

    Walking in the city, we discover the Minnehaha Falls, a little paradise in the middle of the town.

    This evening we experiment a new big american thing : the Baseball Game !! Tonight it's Twins versus Arizona Diamondbacks. This is our really first time, but thanks to Laurent's little baseball knowledge it's understandable, and very pleasant. After 2 hours of game, we left the stadium, Diamondbacks are kicking the Twins ass, final score 2-6
