Mall of America

Friday, July 26th, 2013

We finally left the Grand National Rally and drove to Minneapolis stopping at a factory outlet along the way. We arrived at our campsite, which is absolutely beautiful, 1,000 acres with about 20 small lakes. Now we see why Minnesota is called the land of 10,000 lakes. We went to the Mall of America. That place is larger than large. One of the many stores was an Apple store right across the isle from a Windows 8 store. There were five times as many people in the Apple store as there were in the Windows store. It is a four story mall with an amusement park in the center. It took at least 20 minutes to make one loop on one floor with no stops to shop. It seemed like there were more people in that mall than in the population of Sparks and Reno combined. We didn’t do any shopping but we had dinner at an Italian Bistro. Minnesota is beautiful. We wondered why we don’t live here but then we remembered the winters.
