Fargo,ND - Pelican Rapids,MN (60 miles)
Today we parted ways with Casey, Zandi, and Coleman. They are headed toward Duluth and we are off to Minneapolis.
It is a little weird traveling as just the two of us after being with people for the majority of the trip. But it is also nice to be able to go at our own pace.
We exited the plains just as abruptly as we entered them. It felt like once we crossed into Minnesota the plains ended. Weird. And there were instantly more people and small towns.
Minnesota also feels very familiar. It looks like what we are used to seeing back home: leafy trees, field full of wild flowers, and rolling hills. However, there are lakes and ponds everywhere, so if we start to forget where we are we are quickly reminded.
Pelican Rapids is a cute town. They have most definitely embraced the image of the pelican. It's everywhere. Pelican pharmacy, pelican cafe, life size decorated pelicans all around town, and a giant pelican statue by the pond. We were hoping to see some real pelicans, but sadly we did not. Maybe tomorrow!
