Minneapolis Part 2- Mall of America

    Now I've been spending the vast majority of my time in small, remote places since August of last year, so a trip to the cities seemed super fun. We did not realize how over-stimulating and crazy it would be!



    First, we were overwhelmed by the size of the place! Three story's high and crazy big! To find something specific I had to get a map and/or find a security guard to ask for directions.  I know, I know, I'm the worst at directions so that shouldn't mean much, but I had a friend there that was a local and she even does that so there you go.

   We went to the Nickelodeon Amusement Park to look around and chose to ride the Spongebob roller coaster.  It was perfect because we all love Spongebob and it was a very scary coaster!  It was the turquiose one on the left going streight up in my photo.

     Before retreating back to the wilderness we just had to see the new Jurassic Park movie at the Mall of America Theatre. It was an amazing trip with an awesome finish. I am a huge Jurassic Park fan and I was not let down.

   Over all, I feel like the Mall of America was a utopia, like what people in other countries think America looks like. Big and fancy and clean with white tile floors and lots of rich white people with lots of money to spend at expensive stores. But maybe that's just what I think of utopia America is and looked like. It was fun, but definitely not a final destination for me. I'm going back to nature where I belong!
