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.

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.

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 impassableLeia mais

Minnesota's most famous hamburger, the Jucy Lucy..
Live up to the hype? 80%
Tasty? 85%
Messiness? 5 Napkins
Burn my mouth? You betcha!
ViajanteI 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

I took a different route this morning and crossed the Mississippi into St. Paul.
ViajanteI 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 😁

Something else we're deprived of, in California.
ViajanteThe burger with bacon 😋😋😋 But I don't get why Americans prefer cold drinks after fat food, I wood take tea with burger 🤷♀️
ViajanteIt'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 😂
ViajanteHa, ha, well there's a lot of tea drunk in Ireland too, I must check to see if there is a blood sugar problem.
ViajanteI don't think a burger is ever going to be a healthy meal with hot drinks or cold drinks, ha, ha
ViajanteYou'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 🤷♀️
ViajanteYes, middle eastern and Mediterranean foods like schwarma are the recommended here too, alongside sushi of course, which is sometimes a fast-ish food 😂
ViajanteYou should try Russian sushi 😂with mayo 🤦🏻♀️ it's an absolute fast food here
