Fort Snelling State Park, USA - 10th August 2013
By: sannah
Hi there!
Before leaving, we went to the Twin Cities. Well, actually we were neither in St. Paul (the capital of Minnesota) nor in Minneapolis (the state’s largest city), but in the suburbs. After some shopping, we needed a quieter place. And found it – at Fort Snelling State Park.
More than 150 years ago, what now is the state of Minnesota was the border to the Wild West. A fort was established to “secure” the area for traders and the British Army – against the Native American tribe of Dakota who lived there and were afraid of losing their homeland.
Well, to cut a long story short, the Dakota lost their homeland and were even imprisoned at Fort Snelling. We did not go in there, but the walls already look impressive from the outside!
At the adjacent State Park, the Minnesota River joins the mighty Mississippi River. One of the numerous hiking trails leads along this stream.
Can you see the highway bridge in the background?
Especially at the Minnesota River, the ground is very much swampland – and attracting lots of mosquitoes. I decided to stay in sannah’s bag in order to avoid being bitten! sannah told me afterwards that this was a wise decision …
So far,
Jasper

Downtown Rochester, MN, USA - 4th September 2013
By: sannah
Hi there,
we are back in the USA. sannah took me for a short walk downtown. The weather is still nice and very summerly.
The heart of downtown Rochester is the Mayo Clinic - every high building in town is somehow connected to this well known hospital ... for treatments, administration or research.
But two buildings stand out. One is the Plummer Building, erected in the late 1920s. sannah likes the old fashioned style. The other one is the Chateau, formerly a movie theater, but now turned into a bookstore.
All the best,
Jasper

Bochum, Germany - 27th November 2013
By: BlackCat
Hey,
I arrived at Fabi's house a day ago and today we visited the Christmas market in Bochum for the first time.
Fabi chose to only take two photos, so I am sorry for the things we're missing on this, but she didn't have that much time as we had to catch the train.
Love,
Jasper
