Thanks for the help for my youngest son who's in St. Paul Nick, he had a GREAT time at "Bills" I'm pretty sure that he's going back before he goes home next Tuesday.
On his first trip to America he's enjoying fine U.S hospitably, great food and has seen snow :)

I wish I could have joined him at Bill's! I think you need to let everyone know what fun he had there  ;)

Too bad he's only here for the ugly/dirty melting snow.

He had another nice day today using Uber to get around and see some sites.

This is from a few days ago - Mickeys Diner

Both sons are 'A' Grade IPSC shooters and compete often.

Nick sent through directions and all the details for Bills Gun Shop, Tom went from Sydney to L.A. to St Paul Minnesota, checked in and then straight to Bills by Uber :)  -

We spoke to him just before midnight when we went to bed and he had just gotten up, it was around minus 2-3C at 6.30am.......he did say he's glad he's not there in the middle of your Winter Nick :)

You'll have to tell him it was about -40 or worse just a couple months ago  :D

Did he have to buy warmer clothes for the trip?

Thanks Bruce, he saw a US basketball game yesterday and he flys out to L.A soon (your time) he's hoping there's enough time for bus tour before getting his flight to Sydney.

No Chris, it was a weeks plumbing conference.
