July 10, 2015. Trip to Mississippi



LOCATION: Rochester, Minnesota
WEATHER:  Another beautiful summer day. Highs I about 80

After another efficient appointment at Mayo, we hit the road for a day trip to the Mississippi.  We stopped at Read's Landing Brewing Company for lunch.

 
It is right on the river, and people were out enjoying it with their boats and jet-skis.  We used to come here during the winter to watch the migrating birds.

We crossed over the river to Wisconsin in Wabasha and drove up to Buena Vista Park where there really is a "buena vista" of the river and dam below. 


Graham and Alexis had a good time!

The bartender at Read's Landing had recommended a visit to a biker bar in Pragg, Wisconsin, outside of Alma.  It was a challenge to find it, in the middle of nowhere.  We followed some antique car drivers,  and sure enough, arrived at this hot spot.  George ordered a Rocky Mountain oyster.  He cordially invited us to share, but there were no takers.


Graham and Alexis found a friend....

DINNER:  Back in Rochester, we went to one of my favorite places in town...ZZEST.  Graham had a bone marrow pizza....how interesting!  Alexis had some veg fettuccini, and George and I split a huge, juicy burger.
