We went to St. Paul to visit Julia and had the nicest time. Her apartment is so cute and she and Benjamin were lovely hosts. We walked and ate lunch along the Mississippi River. We finally got her new bike (belated birthday gift); we visited the Mall of America (with its huge amusement park in the middle) and Stillwater, MN--where we walked across the bridge and into Wisconsin. They also had an arts festival there with a ton of vendors. We saw The Importance of Being Earnest (very funny) at the Guthrie Theater and took in the cityscape from the endless bridge. Yummy food was had at Glam Doll Donuts, Spicy Feta, and from Julia's kitchen (ribeye, pork loin, chicken, roasted pumpkin). Her tiny gas stove (original 1940s???) makes it quite an accomplishment when it turns out. :) She bought me smoked salt...like mother like daughter. It was good for the soul to stay with her.
