Minnesota Pics

I decided to start taking pictures, with my camera phone,

of some of the things I like about Minnesota.

Picture #1:

I am not a morning person and I definitely don't like driving to work at 6:45 am every day. The redeeming factor is that I drive over the Mississippi River every morning and I think it's really pretty. Half of this picture is "road" but I was driving so I didn't really want to take my focus off the road to focus on my picture... but you can still see how pretty it is.

Pictures #2-3

I went to downtown Minneapolis for dinner with a new friend tonight. I really like the high-rise buildings so I took a few pictures of them. I don't know why they are so cool to look at but I never get sick of it!

Picture #4
This picture is neat because, if you look at the building in the very middle, you can see a perfect reflection of the building that stands in front of it. I thought it looked really cool!

Picture #5

I am not sure how this ended up so abstract looking, but at any rate, it's another cool building.

Picture #6
This is on Nicolette Mall (named after an outdoor mall that lines the street for blocks).

There are people walking and biking everywhere!

Picture #7
This is me and my friend Ka, from work. We drove to Lincoln, NE together since we are in the same training class and this is a picture from our road trip there! I always have fun on these trips and looked forward to them (they are done now that my training in Lincoln is done).

Pictures #8-9

No matter what happens during my day or how unsettled I feel at times, it's nice to go my room where all the stuff is mine and there is a sense of familiarity.

(I don't usually make my bed and when I do, it looks like this haha)

PS: I accomplished my goal for this week! Tonight I successfully drove down one-way streets the correct way!
