5th October, 2011
Today was a hot day (about 29 degrees) and I spent most of it walking around in the sun in the city. I walked the Minneapolis heritage trail around the Mississippi by St. Anthony Falls. Minneapolis used to produce more flour than anywhere else in the world. It was thanks to St. Anthony Falls (above), which is the only proper falls along the whole Mississippi River. The falls powered the Mill, which led Minneapolis to be known as the "Mill City".
I walked over the historic stone bridge and visited the Mill City Museum. The museum was well done. It reminded me a little of the Guinness Storehouse as it was about a food product, it was quite interactive, there was a bread sample and an observation tower.
