Coming back in from the cold

It's 2.5 months since I left my job. I didn't really search for this possibility, an amazing friend set it up. So we'll see how it goes. Feels strange to be traveling again.

Bad karma

Crap. A 2.5 hour delay already. My love for SFO (sarcasm) is renewed. Truly my favorite airport (more sarcasm). Off to find some overpriced snack 😁

One more off my coffee bucket list. Minnesota's Caribou Coffee. For some reason it exists only in Minnesota and across the Middle East, in countries like Turkey.

The Mall of America, it's definitely huge. Lots of air conditioned space to get my 10k steps tonight.

Intense day of meetings, but it's lovely outside. It looks a lot like Ireland.
After work wander

Pulled over on the way back to the hotel to have a quick walk in a place called Baker Park Reserve. There's a lot of flooding from last weekend. I tried three different trails and each was impassableもっと詳しく
Will I regret it?

I've ended up going to an "Authentic" Irish Pub near the hotel for dinner.

Minnesota's most famous hamburger, the Jucy Lucy..
Live up to the hype? 80%
Tasty? 85%
Messiness? 5 Napkins
Burn my mouth? You betcha!
旅行者I follow Joshua Weissman on YouTube and he was traveling through US to try every burger in US. I remember Jucy Lucy from his video but don't remember the score 🤷♀️
Crossed the river
2024年6月28日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
I took a different route this morning and crossed the Mississippi into St. Paul.
旅行者I think it's about 3,800 km. It runs north to south, so it's kind of a divider in the USA. So you get expressions like the best burger, this side of the Mississippi 😂
It's raining 😁
2024年6月28日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 63 °F
It's turning out to be a beautiful day.
Even the coffee...
2024年6月28日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
.... is Minnesota nice!
St. Croix River

I'm straddling both Minnesota and Wisconsin asking the St. Croix river. Beautiful, but there are so many Mosquitos.

Something else we're deprived of, in California.
旅行者The burger with bacon 😋😋😋 But I don't get why Americans prefer cold drinks after fat food, I wood take tea with burger 🤷♀️
旅行者It's not healthy. I just watched a video about Russian diet 😁 we have lowest blood sugar in the world. Well, the guy thinks because of buckwheat but I think it's because of tea 😂
旅行者Ha, ha, well there's a lot of tea drunk in Ireland too, I must check to see if there is a blood sugar problem.
旅行者I don't think a burger is ever going to be a healthy meal with hot drinks or cold drinks, ha, ha
旅行者You're right, I actually was surprised by that video. But we do drink a lot of tea, I think even more than UK and Ireland. from the healthy fast food, doctors saying that shawarma is the best, pizza was of the table 🤷♀️
旅行者Yes, middle eastern and Mediterranean foods like schwarma are the recommended here too, alongside sushi of course, which is sometimes a fast-ish food 😂
Second chance

Checking out oddities and such in North Saint Paul
旅行者Raining outside, with a tea or coffee to drink while you wander through the shelves, and sit down to read a bit of some books.

Back in the airport, and one last Caribou coffee. Mainly to get another fix of Minnesota nice before I board.
No direct flight available this morning. I'm connecting through Denver.

Trying to grab some Voodoo for Trystan.
旅行者Trystan such a great person! Happy birthday to your son and you too! Hope you'll find your passion in consulting, or maybe somewhere else.
