Minnesota - Day 1

Ok, so they weren't kidding when they said it was cold here. It is *freaking* cold!!! It was about 5 degrees Fahrenheit on our drive from Minneapolis to Fairmont. On our way out of the parking deck at the airport, the woman who checked us out said, "Minnesota is where penguins come and say 'It's cold!'" ... not funny. But really, I haven't experienced this in a long time. You breathe in, and it pretty much freezes your insides.

Apart than that, Minneapolis seems like it'd be a neat town to visit when it's warmer. There are so many amazing design agencies here that I may consider coming back to take a closer look at them and the graduate program at MCAD (Andy?...). We're going to the Mall of America on Thursday night, since it's a 'must see' when we're here.

The drive to Fairmont - a little tiny blip of a town in Southern Minnesota where we're staying for 3 nights - was pretty uneventful and flat (I guess my job takes me to the flattest places on earth). The ground is covered in snow, with some snowbanks about 4-5 feet. The roads are completely clear, so no worries on that. We've got trusty Garmin with us too to take us on these long straight stretches of road.

We start doing our interviews tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes!

Good night! (Yay for English!)
