This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

Mississippi River Cities
After visiting Brainerd and nearby parts of up North we head back down South to stop in Winona and Red Wing. I first noticed these cities while going through on the Empire Builder about a month ago. I made a mental image to stop in again as they look to be very attractive cities.
The river is a working place as you can see from the barges being pushed downstream. I wonder how long it takes for one of these to stop?
The St James Hotel is right next to the railroad station and a great place to stay and eat.
The churches all seem to have very tall and thin steeples.
There are some vineyards but unfortunately the wineries were not open til the weekend.
