My first Saturday in Minneapolis. 2 exciting things happened. I decided to go for a walk and on that walk I 1. Gave a guy directions like a total native! and 2. Bought some cool stuff at a garage sale (lamp, mail holder, free ice cube tray).
I decided to go across the river today to Seward, the neighborhood on the other side of the bridge. Some streets reminded me a lot of Prospect Park because of the gardens, but other parts were just little houses all in a row--no trees, no gardens. On my way back toward the bridge I visited the Seward Community Co-op, which is basically just like a big grocery store full of food from local farmers and other organic things. It's really cool! It's open to the public, but the idea of a co-op is that you buy into it so members get certain benefits if they buy into it. I'm definitely going back there!
Tomorrow there is supposed to be an event called "Open Streets Minneapolis" where a street is blocked off for pedestrians and bikes and there are vendors lining the street. I think it is to promote healthy living, doing something other than driving. It sounds pretty cool!
Sitting on the couch right now is making me feel pretty tired. Between yesterday and this morning, I gone on a run and two 2 hour walks. My muscles are tight and my left shin is killing me--shows how out of shape I am!
Here are some pictures (I'll try to start taking more):
