still wishing i were elsewhere...

but i do have some photos from this side to share:
^georgetown ^georgetown ^the mississippi, from below hennepin ave bridge ^buttons @ the yarnery in st. paul^knit gnomes @ the yarnery ^kitchenwares on grand in st. paul ^cow creamer pitcher ^chocolates @ the golden fig in st. paul ^by the mississippi^the guthrie theater ^by the river ^lily of the valley @ the mill city farmers market ^brunch @ spoonriver ^by the river ^m & e @ the chambers hotlist - taste of the nation benefit ^the courtyard of the chambers hotel ^w/m @ the chambers benefit

^minneapolis farmers market

so... minneapolis is no london, but it's faring pretty well, all things considered. the walker was lovely, very well done, a nice collection w/interesting + topical temporary exhibits & not overwhelming (i like it more than the tate modern actually). the farmers market was also big and bustling with a good coffee stand, perfect for a weekend morning. the twins game was fun & i'm even anticipating going again. there's plenty of distinctive architecture, charming boutiques & cute eateries scattered around the city, but there is also a lot of ugly in between.

of course i miss london each day that i'm here, but i still have every intention of making the most of my time in the twin cities.

best,
