We drove to St. Olaf on a Thursday, in a driving rain.\u00a0 Cold (40F), windy.\u00a0 Arrived for a visit, was greeted by our very own guide, had a great one on one tour of the entire campus.\u00a0 After the tour, Madeline met with an admission officer one on one, and eventually we the parents joined.\u00a0 We were very favorably impressed with all we saw.\u00a0 The campus is a visual gem.<\/p>\n

We drove to MPLS at the end of the day, St. Louis Park to be specific.\u00a0 Checked into our AirBnB quarters, owned by Rachael, or gracious host.<\/p>\n

The next day we entered into an official U of Minnesota dog and pony show, with tour.\u00a0 This time we shared our tour guide with a dozen other folks, most of them from Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Click the thumbnail below for pictures of the tour.\u00a0 The weather was cold and blustery, the tour was long.\u00a0 At least it was dry.\u00a0 We were in and out of too many buildings to count.\u00a0 It was hard to know how to dress.<\/p>\n
