Our rental car turned out to be a silver Hundai Sonata! That's what we drive at home. So...as long as we're in the car, we feel at home.
It took about four hours to drive across Minnesota. The day started out clear and warm. We were so excited and we put on our summer clothes. From I-94 the view is mostly of fields and farms and silos...lots of them, and often a strip mall shopping center with store front you would find anywhere in the country.
We drove toward ever darkening skies. The wind picked up as we went. By the time we were approaching Fargo, we were in a driving, cold rain storm. We were glad to get off the road and take refuge in a warm dry room at the Motel 6. However, we were also ready to be out and about.
We found we were in luck, in that one of the major tourist attractions of Fargo, North Dakota, is the Roger Maris museum and we are staying just a few block from it. He was a native of Fargo and broke Babe Ruth's home run record by hitting 61 home runs in 1961. So we learned a little more about baseball this afternoon, in rainy Fargo. The day is still young, who knows what else may be in store?
