Independence day

We are currently cruising through the southern plains of Minnesota on Interstate 90 after having taken a short break on the Mississippi river in La Crosse, Wisconsin where Independence day celebrations were entertaining the people. After waking up in our charming room of the HI in downtown Madison, the city was ours to discover. Crossing Capitol Hill and the Capitol building itself for a breakfast and a Wisconsin 10 yeart old cheddar purchase on State street we drove to the UW campus and visited the Chazen Museum of Art. Note that while I was searching for the best cheese to buy from the cheesery, Kate passionately tasted each single cheese that was sampled there. Highway 14 led us to the birthplace of Frank Lloyd Wright and to the location of his most personal works in Taliesin. A short stop at the visitor’s centre built by Wright was enough to give us some background about him and Taliesin. We got a glimpse of the hill where his organically designed houses are standing, got back on the road and had a farmers market snack while crossing the beautiful hilly Wisconsin landscape. Our next stop should be Sioux Falls in South Dakota in roughly 200 miles.
