In the heart of the Midwest

Okay, folks. We need a QUICK update, because yesterday was a LONG driving day, which included navigating the Penske through downtown Minneapolis. We've got to hit the road this morning and head on to Ohio!

Yesterday was quite eventful, and it's a shame I don't have more time to expound on the beauty of the "world's largest twine ball rolled by one man".



It's a bit hard to see, as it's encased in its own little plexiglass pavilion. No one seemed to be around to open the museum for us, but we did find a guest book in the large mailbox in front of it.



Not much else is going on in Darwin, MN (at least we didn't find it). But we did visit the Twineball Antiques shop, where we bought commemorative T-shirts.



Back on the road, much work was accomplished (believe it or not) with our double-socket cigarette-lighter laptop plug. Just learn to ignore the bumps in the road.




After making our way into the heart of downtown Minneapolis, we popped out to pay tribute to Mary Tyler Moore...



...and rewarded ourselves for getting out of the city in the 26' foot in one piece by spending an hour in the Mall of America.



We did have a couple of other planned sites to see on our way. "Large Chicken" was not impressive enough to stop, though we saluted it from the highway. "Another Giant Mouse with Cheese" also didn't merit a side trip (though we saw it through the window). However, we did stop for Paul Bunyan and Babe. Who wouldn't?



So now we're off again. What lies in store? Tune in tomorrow to find out.
