There where 18 people at John & Carolyn's on Tuesday evening for Supper. It was a great way to finish our time here and we look forward to being able to repay the kindness, time and generosity afforded us throughout our time here, when any of these guys travel down under.

John cooked us up a storm to set us on our way, and with a couple of stops along the way, arrived in Minneapolis at 7.30pm. We checked into our room and Bailey and Bluey went straight down to the pool for a swim. Bluey has been struggling with a crook back the last couple of days, so had to have a bit of a swim for some relief. As Gena said, if he was a horse, they'd be bringing out the curtain.
Our first day in Minnesota involved a day on the Mississippi River aboard the Minnesota Centennial Show Boat where we watched The Vampire. It was run by the University of Minnesota and the cast was made up completely with Theatre students. It was very entertaining with a lot of crowd interaction.

The stage wasn't huge but picturesque
The show was lively and entertaining
From the Mississippi River, we went to The Mall of America, the USA's largest mall. Like the West Edmonton Mall, this place had everything - including an amusement park in the middle of it. No surprise, Riley & Bailey spent several hours there.
For those from Yarram way, you will be interested that we are going to Hiawatha and Minnehaha Falls tomorrow. I am assuming that they will be bigger than their namesake at home? We'll let you know tomorrow.
