Adventure Outside the Door

Yesterday the Red Bull Flugtag was held on the Mississippi River. My older daughter and I only had to walk out the door to watch some of this. The event planners hoped for 40,000, but the police say 90,000 attended. That's when it is very nice not to have to find a parking place. There were moments I'm certain when one could have walked across the river without getting feet wet, just walking from one boat to the next. First time I've ever seen rush hour on the river!

Also it was amazing to see that the event had nearly disappeared by 6 PM. That was a fast take down and clean up.
