A lazy evening drive

Yesterday, after a lazy cup of coffee in the evening, we decided to drive out aimlessly on 55. After driving about 5 miles, we came to Minnehaha Ave where Pergola gardens and Minnehaha falls were located.
We parked our car near the entrance and decided to take a stroll in the garden. Boy, was it cold. The moment we stepped out, the cold air started stinging thro my jeans and was hardly able to walk. But we braved the situation and didn’t need to repent it.
This waterfall drops 53 feet and is pretty small when compared to the Indian ones but then given the fact that it is not even 10 minutes drive from our place, why complain.


We walked down to the bottom of the waterfall and took the trail following the stream of water to explore the park further. People were cycling in this crazy cold weather and there we were, wrapped up in sweaters and still feeling cold. The colors of the leaves have just begun to change and I guess another visit to this place during October is definitely on the cards.
