Trip to Minneapolis Over Spring Break
Most people chose to go to a warmer place over spring break but I chose to drive to the cities with a few of my international friends because that was the only trip I could afford. We left Moorhead on Saturday morning. My mom made us some very delicious pancakes and we headed out. An hour or so later, we came by Freeport - a very small town - and spotted a really pretty church in town.We decided to get off the highway and go check out the church. We didn’t however get to go into the church because someone was getting married and we decided it would be rude if we interrupted the wedding just to go see the church. We decided to get back on our way to the citied. We got there around 2:30 p.m. and went straight to our friend’s apartment that we were staying with for the weekend. We hung out there for a little bit and then went out to eat EGYPTIAN food. It was awesome. Halfway through the meal, Naren told us that the buffet cost $25. Even though I did not believe him I think I lost most of my appetite.Then he took us to an Indian grocery store and I was so excited/ surprised to see all these Indian people in one place and hundred of Indian movies available for rent. That night Naren and Buddhinie made us some really delicious Sri Lankan food.The next day we went to see the St. Paul Cathedral, it was absolutely stunning. The interiors were engraved with lots of writing, most of which I couldn’t figure out. There were beautiful stain glass paintings on every window of the cathedral. That night I tried ice skating for the first time ever. I was very scared to put on the skates but I was surprised I could actually stand up without having to hold on to anything.
But then when we got on the ice, I had fun for the first 15 minutes and then I fell like 7 times, every time I tried to move away from where my feet seemed to be stuck. I fell one last time so hard that I couldn’t even move. I was so mad at myself that I took off my skates and just walked across to the seating. I decided that night that I wouldn’t skate until next winter! That was my very eventful spring break. I am glad that we have an occasional week off here and there giving me time to catch up on my much deserved sleep and my sanity!
