they smiled so big when they saw the sign that said Caribou… in Kiswahili, “karibu” means welcome!
I wanted to choose a coffee shop that would be a good representation of Minnesota, so I chose my favorite one- the Caribou on Grand Ave!
We drank iced tea and they introduced me to their friends and family on Whatsapp video calls. They loved people watching and seeing the bustling city of Saint Paul. It was a beautiful way to spend a Friday summer afternoon, and for me it will always be a great memory of this family’s first day in Minnesota.
