This was Minneapolis in a nutshell, drank American beer, smoked American cigarettes, shopped in American stores, and save a hell of a lot of money doing so. Our hotel was within close distance to Chili's, TGIFridays and a Ruby Tuesday; to say the least, I ate till I puked. Sliders, cheap steaks and refills on everything were hard to pass up. On the way home we stopped in at an IHOP for lunch and I opted to get 2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 strips of bacon, hashbrowns, and all you can eat pancakes for the low price of $7.99; with prices like that no wonder the folks just a short drive south are the fattest in the world, God help them, and God bless the U S of A. Here's the photos I decided to put up as a little catalog of the trip.

The BEST pringles the world could offer.

Can't go wrong with waffle fries!

Here's a house we passed of the way back, somehow we got lost and ended up in the middle of nowhere, let me give you some advice, just head north.

This town had a nice looking public library, not nice enough to coax me in on this day though.

Read closely, if you eat the sugar, you will get the cancer.

The fog that turns you inside out.

I just wanted to listen to the misfits.
