Tram and Paul in Minnesota
Well the past week we have been in Minnesota. Minnesota is made up of the twin cities St. Paul and Minneapolis. Minneapolis is referred to as the city of 10,000 Lakes. The lakes are really beautiful. I have been to Minnesota 2 times but both in the winter and the lakes have been frozen, so its really nice to see them in summer.
We have taken my uncles speed boat on to the lakes and had turns driving the boat. Paul had a great time hooning around doing 25 miles/ per hours but my uncles were going 35 miles/per hour. Its the only thing that we can drive since the steering wheel is on the left hand side, the way it should be, but we still had to drive it on the right hand side.
That night we went clubbing. The clubs here are very good and everyone can dance. A funny thing happened at the night club. We asked for some water and the bar tender couldn't understand us. Did you know that you have to tip bar tenders. Its so expensive to go out here. Also, the clubs stop serving at 1am, so you might as well go home. We had a fun night anyway. We are about to go out again tonight.
Last night we went to a Twins baseball match. Twins is the name of the baseball team. They are all fanatic baseball fans. I think its because the Twins are their best sporting team with the most potential of winning something. It was really cool because they had an organ and were playing "take me to the ball game", "baby elephant dance" and all the other ones you hear on the simpsons. There was a 14 years old girl that sang their national anthem and everyone stood silently with their hands on their hearts and some people sang along. It was a really good experience. The Twins flogged the rockies, we think 18 to 8, although the scoring is very confusing.
Their were 18,000 people in the stadium but it can hold three or four times more. The stadium was pretty awesome. I waited till the end to get some autographs of the baseballers and eventually got an autograph of the famous pitcher and a photo from a distance.
We have also been to the Mall of America. Its a huge mall with its own theme park, bars and resturants, and 425 shops. The mall used to be a stadium and was converted into the Mall of America. We also went to a comedy club inside the Mall. There are all sorts of shops in the mall, even a shop that sells garlic products. You can find anything that you are looking for in the store. Paul and I have been shopping with my aunty who is an extreme shopper and got some really nice and cheap clothes. Our feet are really sore from walking around the mall. :)
By the way I also got braids in my hair!!
Until next time. Take care and enjoy the weekend!
Love Tram and Paul
