| We drove through Amish country in Indiana |
 |
| A modern cyclist behind an Amish buggy. |
 |
| We sampled some delicious popcorn and brought some more home with us. |
 |
| When we were looking for a picnic spot, we stopped at the house of Jean Stratton Porter |
 |
| We drove up to Sandusky, Ohio and out to Marblehead for a view of Lake Erie |
 |
| And the roller coasters across the lake. |
 |
The next day, we drove home. 9000 miles, 40 days. Our old car made it with only a broken windshield to repair.
|
 |
| The Visitor Center in Taliesin designed by Frank Lloyd Wright |
 |
| A barn designed by Wright |
 |
| And a house, also at Taleisin |
 |
| While we were looking at architecture, we went by House on the Rock, a kitchy, over-the-top tourist trap.This is the Infinity Room |
 |
| Lots of cheese (and mice) in Wisconsin. |
 |
| The next stop that day was the Unitarian Meeting House in Madison designed by Wright. He was also a member there. |
 |
| The pulpit with space for the choir and organ overhead. Light flows through the windows. |
 |
| The movable benches don't exactly face the pulpit as they are tilted to each side. Maybe seeing outside is more important than looking at the minister?? |
 |
| The offices are off this hallway. The rooms contain no walls with right angles. |
 |
| This church helps support the Unitarian church in Nagy Aita, Romania. We loved seeing this as when we were PCVs in Romania, we were friends with the minister there and his wife and started our Christmas market in that village. |
 |
| The congregation outgrew the sanctuary designed by Wright and had this new beautiful space built. |
 |
| We went into Madison proper and enjoyed brats and beer by the lake at the university student union. |
 |
| Nice place to attend school |
 |
| We also did a tour of the state capital building filled with gold plated statues. |
 |
| The Mississippi River |
 |
| A giant Red Wing boot |
 |
| More Mississippi shots |
 |
| Some classic towns along the route |
 |
| Harriet, the bald eagle, at the Eagle Center in Wabasha, MI |
 |
| A Wisconsin sign |
 |
| "Classy" accommodations somewhere outside of Madison |
