Americas

We had an amazing petrol station to spend the night at, with a lounge, TV, sofas and tables, but it was super cold at night, so we went to Walmart to buy another blanket. We checked out the Capitol of Minnesota, also a very nice building, and then walked to the cathedral, which was huge. St Paul is the is right next to Minneapolis, they are also called as the twin cities. We also walked to a waterfall which is in the middle of the city. In the afternoon we went to the biggest mall in the US. It was a crazy experience, hundreds of shops, a complete theme park in the middle, massage salons and everything you wish for. After our sleeping spot at some monks' retreat didn't work out, we went to a gas station, which was right next to a pub. As we sat down, a guy immediately started talking to us and we kept on the whole night. Others joined us as well, invited us for some beers and recommended us many things to check out. They also warned us about Minneapolis being very dangerous - it's also called Murderapolis they said - and we of course discussed politics as well. It was a very American pub and the people we talked to had some questionable political views but it was super fun. Mike invited us to join them for breakfast, and try the crazy bloody Mary. He even offered us to take a shower at his place in the morning. Which we actually did, and had a very fun morning with them. The breakfast place was more like a pub, everyone was drinking, they had huge portions and pull-tabs, a kind of lottery and other gambling stuff. We played two rounds of pull-tabs, Olli even won a few dollars. They even offered us to stay another night, and to sleep at their place,but we had to leave unfortunately.Okumaya devam et
