Breakfast today was amazing. Inspired by oatmeal that we had had a few years ago when visiting MLB in New Haven, we made oatmeal with flax seed, nuts, granola, yogurt, and fruit. Priyanka made french press coffee, which was delightful.We next ventured out to our main activity of the morning: a trip to the lakes right in Minneapolis where we planned to go for a walk
and for a canoe trip. Though Malini and Priyanka did not feel the need to dress specially for the occasion, David decided to don what came to be referred to as his boating outfit. The three of us and the college-aged gentleman who rented us our canoe agreed that it was appropriate for such an outing.
For three relatively amateur canoers, we did quite well. There was only one point that we almost hit a concrete wall, and that was averted by a strategically extended oar.
There were many notable sightings while we were out on our canoe, including pirates and many forms of wildlife. The pirates took the form of two old people who were kayaking down a small stream. We spied them from afar and were trying to keep our distance, but they were making a fast approach. It was clear that we were in for trouble as the pirate in the first boat scowled at us
as we passed. The Dread Pirate Brian, bringing up the rear, verbally assaulted us as we passed by. "Who's steering this vessel?" he snarled at us, clearly seeking to determine who was the captain of our ship.
"We wish we knew too," we replied, highlighting our ignorance of the high seas in hopes that the pirates would have pity on us. He eyed us suspiciously, but our poor maneuvering of the canoe must have confirmed our lack of experience.

This all sounds rather athletic for david. I hope you kept an eye on him malini.
