My Mnnesota trip

For past few days, I'm in Minnesota on a business assignment. The first impression I got from after landing last Sunday was, this place has a lot of resemblance to Main, my long long ago residence (1998). And I'm not wrong, the days are longer, the highways are emptier (no peak hours), people are warmer. But besides similarities there are peculiarities that Minnesota would call it's own.

Minnesota is called land of 10,000 lakes. Anywhere you go you find lakes. The other few things I hear from natives here is everyone heads to Cabins during th week end. Either everyone has a cabin or knows some one who has a cabin. Another funny thing I heard was, Minnesota has two seasons 1. Winter and 2. Road development. I guess in summer they can't do anything and every Summer, which is particularly hot, they have road construction going on everywhere.

Oh before I forget, I almost had an encounter with Tornado yesterday. No I did not see it, but we had a Tornado warning yesterday evening on my way back home. I was just few miles away from the expected path. So this is the closest I came to real Tornado for now.

I wish I had brought a camera... may be next trip.. I'll be coming here often...
