Getting on the train to Chicago
St Paul, Minnesota and the great Mississippi River
The inside of the Mall of America
Inside the Mall of America , again The Mall of America was great fun! I have attached some photos to give you an idea of its size. We (the chaperones) were so tired from the night before, that we went back to the apartment after just four hours and crashed! How could we have just spent only four hours in the greatest mall in America? Such a shame! Jacqui went to bed by 6 pm, and after watching a little news, I was in bed by around 9 pm. The next morning (Sunday June 28) we started early by meeting downstairs at 6:30 am. Our train was to leave at 7:45 and we wanted to collect the kids from their host families. The train was about an hour late. Everyone was happy to be back together and they all had their different stories and experiences to share.
Our train ride to Chicago, IL was 8 hours today. We got in about 5:00 pm, walked a few blocks to the Chicago Hostel, and then let the kids go free for the night to forage for their own dinner. The adults went to a little restaurant a few blocks away and had a great dinner together. It was a good day. Tomorrow we get a tour of Chicago.
WOW! WOW! WOW! This is just amazing! I just got caught up with all you are doing Rhona! You are amazing! What fun. . .but how exhausting!!!! LOL!
