Hi there!

Long time not seen, but sannah has had a cold during the week and started tutoring, too.

Today we made a short trip to Zumbrota, Minnesota. Doesn't that sound funny? Say it twice or three times in a row! *giggel*  It is a very small town about half an hour northwest of Rochester.

Therefore, there wasn't that much to see, except for the reason we came: A covered bridge, the only one left in the state. Here it is:



Can you read the sign above it? It says: "$10 fine for driving faster than a walk across this bridge." But since there are posts installed in front of the bridge, no usual vehicle would be able to pass anyway.

Next to the bridge some information were given which I studied carefully.



Then we entered the bridge and it turned out to be really huge!



Through the windows, we had a look on the Zumbro River and the amounts of snow that are still left in my area.



Inside the covered bridge, it was pretty cool because the warming sun was missing. But outside, I was larking and made snow angels!



The snow cooled me down. Luckily, my hosts decided to have a cup of coffee before we left because they were freezing a little after having a walk in the Covered Bridge Park. So we went to a small café nearby.



Everywhere along the Main Street, lampposts were decorated with those flags. Zumbrota obviously is very proud of that bridge!



All the coffee (I even got a refill) made me hop around sannahs car on our way back. At first I tried to enjoy the still snowy landscape ...



... but then I got bored and wanted to drive myself ...



... and played with Emil the Elk who lives in sannahs car. He protected me from falling here.



It was only a small trip, but we had lots of fun. And the fresh air made me tired in the long run. Good night!
