Minneapolis to Milwaukee

There is nothing much to say about The Twin Cities other than they were nice Midwest cities. It's hard to distinguish Minneapolis from, say, Columbus or Indianapolis: they are all nice Midwest cities without much character to tell them apart. I first spent time photographing downtown Minneapolis dominated by Target headquarters before checking out Mill City neighborhood and UMN campus. Then I went to St. Paul via Minnehana Park. I surveyed the Mississippi River there and then crossed it to get to St. Paul Cathedral. I was off to Milwaukee via Madison then.

It was same I-90 that we drove in the West-bound direction in 2017 to get to Madison from Chicago. I remember the sun-lit storm clouds over it as we drove on it near Rochester. This time I was driving in the opposite direction from Minneapolis on I-94 and then I-90 to Madison. It didn't look familiar -- it never does when you are moving in the opposite direction -- and I didn't realize I was on it till I got closer to Madison. 

I stopped at the Tesla charging station off I-90. It didn't look familiar either -- I must have charged the car at a different station in Madison the last time. After charging, I went across the street to Global Market for food. It was well past 7PM then.

I was in a different side of the town than the last time I was here in 2017, and I didn't revisit where we were the last time. The outcome was that it was a different version of Madison. Without retracing the route of the previous visit, they remained disjointed in my memory.

I drove to Oak Creek, the southern end of Milwaukee, plugged in the car and slept at the Tesla station there.
