New York NY - And the cool down arrived

 













Not a bad day but a whole lot colder, windier and wetter.  

The part of NYC that I always enjoy is finding something new that is on a street that you have wandered time and time again but this time it comes to life or the door is unlocked and you can get in.  

Nice to see life continuing to improve and feel a bit more normal - still a long way to go to pre-covid but every time I am here it is another step or two closer. 


New York NY - Got started with a beautiful spring evening

 




Warm and sunny - but like Minnesota it is the nice before the return of the wet and cold.  

Always great to hang and wander in NYC - and hang with some friends in interesting times.

Saint Paul MN - First day on the deck in 2022

 



Last minute we raced to get the table and chairs on the deck so we could hang outside for the first time in 2022 - and as it happens the first day of spring.  

Last day of spring break - so a busy few weeks ahead for all.

Darwin MN - Spring Break part 5






 

How can you miss visiting the Worlds Largest Ball of Twine if you are in range to stop by and take it all in.  

We finished off in Darwin MN before the final leg home taking in a once in a lifetime experience.  Both Alex and Cheikh were lost for the right words to describe the whole experience. 

Collegeville MN - Spring Break - part 2, 3 and 4...more

 
















Collegeville MN - Spring Break - part 2, 3 and 4

 














Next stop on our adventure was the magnificent church at St John's in Collegeville - and the Bible and lastly the pottery studio.  

Hard not to be impressed with the amazing church at St John's.  Followed by some other spots around the campus.  

And the Bible story and experience is something to experience as well.  

Lastly, we wandered around in search of the Pottery Studio.  We ended up having an unexpected "total" experience with a tour, tea and cookies and a whole range great conversations with a very unexpected group of people that all made their way to the Studio.
