Sculpture Garden

I took a walk over to the Sculpture Garden yesterday after dinner. It was still very hot, but after the rain overnight, it has cooled off. The main sculpture is called Spoonbridge and Cherry.

There is a fountain coming out of the top of the cherry.

This one is called Hare on Bell

The Minneapolis skyline

There seem to be lots of rabbits around, sometimes you walk by and there are a couple of them just sitting there, like this guy.

Earlier in the day I found the Mary Tyler Moore statue that is downtown.

Minneapolis

It is hot day in Minneapolis today. I walked around abit today during lunch break and after the first session.

They have a square downtown where there is live music during lunch time. I had a bratwurst and fries for lunch.

This is Orchestra Hall, I think it is a music hall of some type. See the sign on the door. Here is a close up.

This is the city where they filmed the introduction to an old tv series, Mary Tyler Moore. The tall building in the picture is the IDS Centre, that is where they filmed the elevator scene in the opening credits.

In the downtown area, there are all kinds of links between the buildings. It is called the skyway, it's like a big hamster habitat trail system.

In the afternoon, I saw these guys grazing on the grass by the convention centre.

A closer photo of one of the rabbits.

While downtown I saw an accident.

I am going to try this Blog format to keep the girls up to date while I am away. It should be easier for me to update.
