Microblog

Cycled a loop through Nordeast and North Minneapolis. Stopped for the usual excellent dinner at Victory 44.

Paused at Merlin’s Rest Pub for essential nutrients.

Walked to the Jungle Theater to see Le Switch.

Satisfied my craving for authentic Mexican food.

Plenty parking for cars, no rack for my bike. I submitted a suggestion that a bike rack would be a welcome addition.

Walked my bicycle through Mill Ruins Park. Early Minneapolis by the Mississippi.

On our cycle ride: sausage rolls. Our lunch venue was closed for Independence Day, a British-style pub was open.

Posted Small Experiences on a Big Journey.

Red, white, and blue: a little bit of England for our Independence Day table. Travel influences choices.

Paused at Lake Harriet for breakfast, then continued cycling.

Cycled to my pre-op physical. I will definitely not be cycling to the post-op follow-up.

The boys dumped our UK change into a charity bucket at NCL.

Friends, family, cakes, finger sandwiches, scones, sausage rolls. A perfect last evening in Newcastle and the UK.

Spent much of the day in, above, under, and around York Minster.

We explored the National Railway Museum.

Nephews’ and their uncles’ backpacks ready for the next adventure: train from Newcastle upon Tyne to York.
