Farewell to Minnesota and the USA

We've continued to tell people that our plan was to fly to Europe on August 23rd. Suddenly, it is August 22nd! It is truly amazing how quickly the time goes.

Speaking of amazing, we have had an awesome time staying in Saint Peter, Minnesota. From playing tennis to riding bikes, it has been invigorating, relaxing, exciting, and wonderful.

Speaking of bike rides... Here are some pictures from the last two rides we went on in Minnesota:

Crossing the Mississippi River in Minneapolis.





The bikes at Lake Nokomis, where we swam mid-ride. Very warm water, and not too murky.


Biking the Cannon Falls Trail from Cannon Falls to Red Wing, Minnesota.


This is it. I think that it is only fitting that we conclude our Stateside blog with a picture of the bikes, where they will rest until we return. The next message will be from Europe! Until then!
