October 11, 2016. Exploring downtown Rochester.

LOCATION:  Rochester, MN
WEATHER:  Beautiful. Sunny. High 75

We walked around downtown Rochester and around Mayo Clinic. Mayo has beautiful artwork....

This stained glass was made by a famous artist, Chiluly.  

We checked out progress on the renovation of the civic center.  The skyline of Rochester is quite impressive...mostly Mayo buildings.  Skyways connect the buildings so visitors don't have to walk in the snowy cold, in the winter months.


The pedestrian mall is an anchor for the downtown....

We had lunch in a new high-end Mexican restaurant with cool murals...


Then we walked to our friend Pat's house where we will stay for several nights.

DINNER:  Pizza delivered to the house.  We sat outside and ate it around her firepit.  Enjoying these last beautiful days of autumn.
