Gosh, you remember me? I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. : )

Yes, the Mayo Clinic is amazing. Some of the patients who I met had literally had their lives saved by the docs there, when other doctors had given up. Anyone who has a problem should just bypass their local docs, and go where the experts are.

Thanks for the tip. I will have to go back up sooner or later. I'll check out Lanesboro. The area is beautiful. I was amazed, however, at the property values. Rochester is a very small town, and the houses are twice as expensive as they are where I live.

Definately a good thing. You were gracious enough to give me pointers on how to set up my home page. Mine's nowhere as great as yours, but it works for me.

As to home prices....Yes, outlandish. You have to go to the rural area's to get better housing prices, but then you're dealing with low paying jobs. Wisconsin is just as bad. Good farm land is also going through the roof, because of the outstate hunters buying up the land for hunting.

Another beautiful area to site see is along the Mississippi. Winona, Red Wing and Lake City, are all fascinating towns. Lake City is my favorite for the Mississippi views.
