Occasionally, we land in a place for a housesit where we have friends or relatives. This is the case with this housesit in St. Paul, Minnesota. Bob had coffee yesterday with a friend from high school, who gave him some ideas of places to see while we’re here. Tonight, we’re having dinner at the home of a friend from college and his wife. It’s always great to have the opportunity to reconnect in person.
This morning Bob and I went to visit one of the greater St. Paul area’s many parks — Harriet Island Park, which actually didn’t seem to be a real island, but we also walked across to Raspberry Island, which did seem to be a very small island in the middle of the Mississippi River.

After leaving the park, we drove out along the road that runs along the river. We found a good spot for another photo of the Mississippi River and downtown St. Paul.
