Wet, Wet, Wet. Rainy drizzle all morning kept us killing time in the lobby of the lovely best western Monticello. Between a wedding party and a ladies scrapbook club, we were entertained but anxious about the rain. Finally got a break around noon and headed out into a humid, but rain free world. Started spitting, then raining about 20 miles out. Unfortunate, since we were on a beautiful riverside path most of the way into Minneapolis. By the time we got to downtown in the late afternoon, we were soaked, frozen and starving. We revived with some Thai soup and then pushed on along the river path, ultimately crossing into St. Paul and riding through a beautiful area of large Victorian homes. Long day.
