Minneapolis has preserved the banks of the Mississippi as public spaces, and this surprisingly lush strip of land and river is a favorite walk of ours year-round.
Remarkably, one of the first things we saw today on our walk was a bald eagle flying northward above the river. A swallow darted out to harass it as it approached the Plymouth bridge, and it swooped out of sight. Heading south, we soon reached the iconic Grain Belt Beer sign and Hennepin Bridge.
Farther along, crowds gathered at Mill Ruins Park to await the fireworks display. As it was not dark enough for the show until 10:00, we watched the fireworks of the northern suburbs from our balcony, enjoying the balmy evening air before retiring to bed.
