After a night of even more torrential rain, we had a good breakfast in the company of a very nice local couple, of Dutch heritage. Unbelievably, it appears that the brand new sports bar and restaurant that we had enjoyed on the previous evening was in fact financed by Vets, a massive locally based farming company, and the reason? They entertain a lot of international clients! Well having taken in all Pipestone could offer, we set off on a three and a half hour drive through hundreds of miles of soya bean crops, tractor equipment, and grain silos.
We stopped off briefly at a small town, for coffee and cinnamon roll, and then continued until we hit the twin cities. We arrived at the AC Hotel (Marriot) at midday and were pleasantly surprised, as it was brand new! Having checked in, we went back to the Mall of America and shopped for those close to us, before having an early dinner. The end of another memorable trip!
Finally, a musical piece by The Byrds, singing a song written by Bob Dylan, who hails form this part of the world .... "Mister Tambourine Man":
