It is Sunday morning and the White Earth team has officially arrived! The team departed Hanover at midnight on Saturday and all piled into the wee Fiat that could to make our 5 am flight out of Logan. Due to some good old Midwestern storms, our connecting flight out of Nashville was canceled. We then found ourself in The Amazing Race! With the help of our newest friend, Patrick Donovan of the Southwest help desk, we (and our BAGS) managed to make it to Milkwaukee, Wisconsin. With the swath of snow threatening to halt our progress, we opted for a Megabus to cover the rest of the distance to Minneapolis. On the quick municipal bus ride between the airport and the bus terminal, Anirudh was elected bus captain and safely navigated the team to the Intermodal Bus Terminal. En route, we stumbled upon a hidden gem coffee shop, Stone Creek, that saved our wayward traveler souls with amazing caffeinated creations and artwork galore. Now recharged and satiated we climbed on the Megabus for what turned out to be an 8-hour snow-drive across Wisconsin and Minnesota. We witnessed a meteorological array of rain, hail, snow and anxiety from the safety of our bus seats! Pulling into the bus terminal in Minneapolis, we emerged as victorious marathoners from our polar trek having managed to eat every snack within the confines of the bus. Reunited with our other student breathern we settled into our hotel rooms for a much anticipated sleep. Excited for the cultural activities to commence tomorrow morning!
