Also, this really should be called the Windy City, because the wind won't stop blowing up here. My hair has been one big knot all week.
St. Paul is really pretty also. Rolling hills and big Victorian homes everywhere. The state capitol building is really pretty and right downtown near the Xcel Center, and St. Paul Cathedral is gorgeous. It's funny too, because St. Paul and Minneapolis are separated by the Mississippi River, just like Little Rock and North Little Rock, except that up here, the Mississippi River isn't so much the Might Mississip. Still a baby river.
There have been some pretty crazy protests here, much worse than what I saw at the RNC in New York City four years ago. I got a warning from U.S. Captiol Police this morning warning of some protest activities planned for tonight...demonstrators are expected to set fires all over St. Paul after some concert tonight. On Monday, over 40 people were arrested for smashing out windows, slashing tires and pepper spraying people's faces. Scary stuff.
Anyway, here are some pictures from last night...enjoy!

You think it is windy up there? Hurricane Gustav is here right now and all of the streets are pretty much flooded. There is no reason to use an umbrella because if it doesn't fly out of your hands, it is probably going to flip inside out! The weather is crazy here!
