The BIRD MAN

 The first picture of Minneapolis. This is in downtown near our first hotel was. There are actually quite a few skyscrapers around and they all look new and shiny~all glass and reflective. It's kind of nice looking.



 @ Government Plaza Station
The city is usually empty like this. At first I thought it was really strange but as we've been here for almost 2 weeks, I'm noticing that not so many people walk around and if they do it's on Nicollet Mall.. Just yesterday, we walked to Wedges Co-op grocery store and barely saw anyone until we hit Loring Park. Complete opposite of Italy.

 We passed this guy while crossing the street. I had no idea who he was but P did so, naturally, we ran across the street to catch up with him for a photo shoot. !!! His team was playing in Minneapolis the next night.
 I've never seen anyone in this square. Maybe it's the time of day I pass by?
Loring Greenway to get to the sculpture garden.
 Apparently this is a famous piece. It is kind of cool. That's the Minneapolis skyline in the back.


 First time we'd ever seen a gopher!!! They are soooo cute! They kind of look like chipmunks. We looked them up and found that they are striped gophers (aka thirteen -lined ground squirrels).
 Where the gophers go for a little stroll.
Che carina!!


















I hand fed a squirrel yesterday in Loring Park. It looooved that foccacia.
