LOCATION: Rochester, MN In southeast Minnesota
WEATHER: Rain most of the day. Highs near 80
When we knew that we would be passing through Rochester, we quickly made important appointments. I was thrilled that I could get a haircut from my long-time great hairdresser. Question to other RVers.....How do you find decent places for haircuts along the road?
George made an appointment to get the transmission fluid changed at the Honda dealer where we bought our Pilot a few years ago. After making the appointment, they called us back, saying that their records show we had this done in May, and shouldn't need it again, unless we had put A LOT of miles on it. George had to call them back to say "yes" we have put on lots of miles.
In fact, we hit 40,000 miles on this first year's journey a few days ago as we traveled through South Dakota.
This is the nice RV park where we are staying.
We visited Silver Lake, home of the numerous Canada geese that love Rochester.
We met up with our daughter Alexis and her boyfriend for dinner at one of our favorite restaurants in Rochester, the Redwood Room. George and I split a seafood pasta dish, rich and delicious. They split a thin-crust pizza.
Back at the camper, it is warm and raining. We will need to close up and sleep with the air conditioner.
In Minneapolis they round up some of the geese and harvest them for food shelves. A great way to get rid of a lot of geese poop!
ReplyDeleteKarmen, re: hair salons
ReplyDeleteI usually just go somewhere where they take walk-ins but I did notice a lady in Jasper and thought her approach was worth copying. She walked up to someone who she thought had a nice hair cut and asked her where she got her hair done. Unfortunately for this woman the girl replied that she had her hair done in Vancouver.
