The Land of 10,000 Lakes
Tim: We arrived in Candy's native Minnesota tonight after our trip from Dickinson, North Dakota. As we have found out on our trip out west (especially in the states of Montana and North Dakota), everything is very big and it takes some time to get from point A to point B. The picture above is a good example of this...it is part of a collection of some very large metal sculpture in North Dakota east of Dickinson. There were roughly seven of these pieces scattered on a roadway for miles, but we only had time to see two of them.
We also saw some buffalo today as well. Here is an interesting shot of them:
We are staying in St. Cloud tonight, then heading to stay with Candy's mom for undetermined time. Today, we stopped in Fargo to visit briefly with Candy's brother Clint and his family for dinner. We will see them some more during this trip, as well. Tomorrow we will see Candy's older brother Jim and his family.
We thought it would be cool here, but these are the warmest conditions we have seen since we left Arizona. The weather folks say that it will be nice here for the next week.
As is always the case, Candy got some more amazing photos of our scenery from the trip. The bottom two pictures are great pictures that illustrate the tranquility of this part of the US. Enjoy the great pics. Oh, I almost forgot. We drove over the 110,000 mile mark in the Element today, 7,000 on this trip alone. We have had it for only three years in May.
Until next post, have a great adventure with your life and make a great day tomorrow!

Welcome to MN!!
Thanks anonymous! Just out of curiosity, who are you?
Martha, Chase stayed in the car because we stopped along the side of the road. I don't think he even really saw them because he didn't bark or anything.
He's having fun at Mom's house. She bought him a big Busy Bone for Easter and he worked through it pretty quickly.
Hope all's well with you. Talk to you soon.
Candy & Tim
Hey to the Rices all the way from Italy! It's now 3:00 in the afternoon in Florence, so it's about 9:00 AM back home! It's really incredible here and we haven't even done anything...just got here Tuesday morning and relaxed and went on a tour of the city yesterday and had our first class lecture this morning, but wow...how beautiful! But, you guys also know me, I miss my girl back home real bad, too! I just wanted to write and say hello, my time is a bit short to write emails to everyone, so I thought I'd leave a message on here when I could! Take care!
Hey Josh!
Wow. You have to be loving where you are right now! I can picture it, and I'll bet it's gorgeous this time of year.
Thanks for keeping us posted. We both hope that you have a really great time in Italy and that you find something (or several things) that you can take with you and apply to/remember for the rest of your life.
Email a few photos from your brand new spiffy camera when you get a chance, k?
