The ride from Pepin, WI to St. Paul, MN contained multiple large climbs. It felt as if we were going up hill all day. To make it better, it absolutely poured. I luckily ended up missing most of the rain, because a few of us (eventually turned into about a dozen) decided to stop at a little diner and get another breakfast; it was good, but the portions weren't large enough. After avoiding most of the rain, we hit the road again, continuing to climb. The nice part about it was that it seemed the higher we went the nicer the weather got. It ended up being pretty nice once we reached the church in St. Paul, but once we were there the weather took another turn around and began to pour again. I felt bad for the few still out there. We showered in parishioners homes, at dinner with a lot of the community and then had home stays. I for one am not particularly a fan of home stays because they separate the group, but you do get a comfortable bed to sleep in. My house ended up having 6 of us there, but all the other hosts took in 2 people.
