My second rest day on this trip, the first one was about 20 days ago in Niagara Falls,NY. I didn't wanted to do too much on my rest day, to really get some rest from cycling, but I still wanted to see a few things in Minneapolis. I didn't really had too much luck with the weather today. It was really cloudy and rained every ones in a while. But that was okay, I went anyway into Minneapolis.

One thing I really wanted to do, while I was in the city, was to see the new Vikings stadium and for this I didn't need good weather. After Andria dropped me off in the Minneapolis in the morning, I first walked around a bit and when it started raining for the first time I sat down for some breakfast near the university. After breakfast I walked to the stadium, to buy a ticket for the stadium tour. Since I had about 40 min before the tour started, I tried to get some good pictures of the outside of the stadium. The tour itself took about 90min and it was money well spend. The tour guide did a great job explaining everything and you got to see quite a few places you would never see otherwise, like the locker room or the suites. I was really impressed by the stadium. Now the only thing missing is seeing an actual game at the stadium. But I guess that will not happen in the near future. After the tour I didn't really feel like walking around anymore and it was raining anyways, so I decided to go to the cinema and watch the new Star Wars movie. A great way to relax a bit. Afterwards I walked around a bit more, but stayed in general in the same area. After work Jason picked me up in Minneapolis and we went out for the evening to have a few beers. A great way to end the rest day. All in all I didn't do to much on my rest day, but it wouldn't be a rest day if I would have been busy walking around Minneapolis the whole day.


Conclusion for the day:

The best thing about a rest day is, that I don't have to do anything.
