Riverboat cruise (Padelford Packet Boat Company), Tuesday, 23 June
We plan a two hour cruise along the Mississippi,
with a meal (Chicken & BBQ ribs, or vegetarian lasagne)
and with music (two ragtime musicians). Cost per person is
expected to be $30. There is also a cash bar on the boat.
Walk along the Mississippi, Wednesday 24 June
Weather permitting, we plan a walk along the
Mississippi, starting near the university, traveling south
along the east bank, then returning along the west bank.
The full walk should take about two hours, and is free.
It is easy to turn around at any point and return.
Dinner at a jazz club (Dakota Bar and Grill), Thursday 25 June
We plan to go for dinner and jazz music. Cost varies widely
depending on alcohol consumption. Personally, I expect to
spend about $35. Both the music and the food at this restaurant
are excellent and creative.
