Mississippi Paddleboat Cruise

I went on a Mississippi River boat in Minnesota. It was so excited for me, because I had never to ride paddle boat cruise in my life. The river reminded me two stories. It is Huckleberry Finn and Tom sawyer. I studied this story by Kumiko Mukai.
The mississippi drop 420 feet or 140 meters between Minneapolis and St. Louis. It is so big river. I spent four weeks in Minneapolis. St. Louis is the state of Missouri. The first name of Saint Paul was Pig's Eye. Pig's Eye was frontiersman pioneer.
I enjoyed cruising in Mississippi. I want to go there again.
