Candy, corn, and more Minnesota

Today I drove to Mankato, MN, south and west of the Twin Cities. I was meeting up with a friend’s daughter and wanted to take in a few “landmarks” as well. They are, in no particular order: Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store in Jordan, MN (a whole table of REAL licorice); St. Peter, MN- home to Gustavus Adolphus College and the location of the annual, international Nobel Conference, and a big red barn that happened to catch my eye…

While in St. Peter, I bought fresh corn from Mallory, who was reading a best seller to pass the time. She also had hula hoops and was happy to demonstrate.

Another satisfying meander…
