Today was the warmest day so far this year; 30 Degrees Celsius or 86 Fahrenheit... blue sky and just awesome sunshine from early in the morning until late into the night.
First I had lunch with a partner of the Transaction Advisory from E&Y in Minneapolis... this was kind of cool, since I got his contact over my roommate's boss who joined us on Friday in downtown for a couple of beers...
After that I returned home, changed into shorts and t-shirt and took the bus downtown again to browse throught the market at the Nicolet Mall. I walked to the Loring Park where the famous Spoonbridge is. After that I took the bus to Lake Calhoun where I enjoyed the sun laying in the grass. There are a few nice places where you can play beach volleyball, beaches or parks to take a sunbath - just an invitation to relax. About an hour later I walked almost all around Lake Calhoun to Uptown, where I enjoyed an iced frappuchino from Starbucks - what a refreshment.
After this very nice trip, I returned to downtown where I was looking for Phil a homeless guy I met two weeks ago. After that I found him, I went home and returned with two bags of clothes he could use. I also invited him spontaneously for dinner... I think he liked it. He told me a little out of his life and how he ended up on the street... was kind of sad, especially when I thought about how much luck I had and how much better my situation is. well, he was very greatful for the clothes and made his way home to his sleeping place in order to share the stuff with his friend.
