Rochester, Minnesota
Conversation with my Airbnb host.
Host: You and the kids might like the Mayo Mansions.
Me (inside my head): The person who invented Mayonnaise has mansions.
Host: All the original doctors' houses are museums now.
Me (again inside my head): A group of doctors invented mayonnaise? How big was this revolution of mayo when it happened? This must be a big Minnesota thing to claim the birthplace of mayo.
Host: If you go straight down this road, it takes you right downtown to all the hospitals and the Mayo Clinic.
Me (out loud): What?
Host: The medical district in Rochester. It's where the Mayo doctors started the Mayo clinic.
Me (out loud): Right, of course.
Me (internally) : What the heck, Steph, you honestly thought they were talking about the inventors of mayonnaise?!
