Minnesota in the winter?

LOCATION: Rochester, MN

WEATHER: Lots of snow on the ground. Warmish (for MN) – 40

Thanks to Cathy and Roger Freikert for the ride to the Harlingen Airport where we caught the Sun Country direct flight to Minneapolis. Flight was half-full and we left 20 minutes early as everyone was checked in early. This is the way to fly! After a night at a hotel near the airport, we picked up our rental car and drove an hour south to Rochester.

We lived in Rochester for 13 years, before retiring and becoming full-time RVers. Best place we ever lived. We’ll be here 2 weeks, then fly to Loreto in Baja California, Mexico via Calgary (more of that story to come).

Rochester got hit with a snowstorm a few days ago, and they are still shoveling out….

I have a few appointments scheduled at the Mayo Clinic, where we used to work. They are so efficient! The buildings are all connected by underground tunnels and skyways, making coats optional. We’ll pick up winter coats at our daughter’s house later today.
