Minnesota - Day 2 and 3

It got to a balmy 17 degrees here today! It's been hovering around 5 or 6 degrees mostly. Tonight, we're staying in Mankato, where there's actual civilization - or rather, suburban-looking commerce districts. Minnesota accents are pretty funny, it's almost like another dialect. I had one woman repeat herself, cause I had no idea what she was saying. I met a few people from Lake Wobegon for sure! It gets so rural out here. Road names are mostly numbers, but they're called Township Road 123, or something like that.

I like the names they give everything, they're either Native American or something like Blue Earth County, which is where I'm at now. So eco-friendly! We're near the Minnesota River Valley, and the river is frozen over. You can see where the snow mobiles have been driving up and down. It's really beautiful. I think I'd come vacation here in the summer.

It's very Lutheran here, although I've seen some Catholic churches. There are some cute churches, and then some dilapidated ones that we've passed by. I couldn't get any good photos of them. Anyways, I have a ton of work to get done. We have really long hours when traveling...
