Holiday Inn Htl Stes American Madison

The weather was the story today as we traveled from Chicago to Madison, WI. Things were great until we reached Madison and then all the elements combined to make an interesting evening. But we weren't deterred. We walked thru the campus and down State St to see the impressive capitol building. Monday morning we took off for our end point of Mitchell, SD. Along the way, we saw farms, cows, and more farms as we drove thru WI, Minn and SD. Before ...

Wow, can't believe it's been a year since I left my house and moved onto the road. With hindsight I wish I took more pictures. I was in great places where I didn't document with my camera. Hopefully this next year I will be again motivated to write in this travel blog and take more pictures.<br><br>While I was in Madison I had a great time! So many good friends! I took photos of the Dairyland Cowboys and Cowgirls barn dance, the Union Terrace and ...

... All names to me before this trip, but I'm<br>slowly piecing together the gigantic puzzle of this country. I find it<br>interesting to see all the various license plates and notice where<br>they're coming from. The furthest so far iIve seen is Colorado and New<br>York. No BC plates yet!<br><br>At around 6pm (we crossed a time zone<br>after having passed Chicago, so we gained another hour!) we stopped for<br>dinner just before Rockford. Michigan. We ...

From Roswell we traveled north through a tip of Texas. No photos but lots of memories of seeing and smelling cows in feed lots. We drove through a nasty little snow storm in Kansas City, MO. and I now know how well Shorty Too travels in the show.<br><br>Madison was significantly colder than NM, the lakes were ...

... third time they were going for a ride in their new home.   Murphy Brown, my 16 year old cat ended up riding in my lap purring through Chicago.   Lucky, my 11 year old monster cat, was a little bit more cautious, but she ended up laying down next to Buddy and cuddling for the night. So, what am I doing?  I am leaving a community I have lived in for the longest time I've ...

... his friends. They were all really chill just sat back and relaxed... One of the girls lit some popcorn on fire accidentally we did some damage control, so did not burn the place down. Went to another Great Dane (it is a chain) met up with some more of Keith's friends. I was rather exhausted from a long day of driving so we returned to his apartment, chilled out with the growler, and watched some Harold and Kumar.

... I stayed long enough to eat my grapefruit at the table littered with papers and dirty dishes and was able to escape by 11am. My friend gave me a gift of a Tibetian prayer scarf and a wall hanging and signed my book with an Eckert Tolle quote.<br><br>Outside, he gave me a suggestion to drive through the Wisconsin Dells. This was perfect advise. The trip inspired my May newsletter and gave me some serenity to regroup as I moved on. <br><br><br><br><br><br>

... the hostel would be hosting a spiritual retreat. Caren thought it was a great idea, and so it became a plan officially set in stone. I was going to be at Langerado during the weekend that I would hear back from HUC Rabbinical school - and since I could not wait to hear what the letter had to say, I gave my mom my keys and told her to check my mailbox for me and to call me right away if she got the letter and not to open it until she was on the phone with me. I got the call ...

... of Washington, DC that I've been to. I did some sketches of the animals and I might scan some of them to add but they are a little disorganized. As I remember my two favorites were the kangaroos and the orangutans that had a scale in the cage and you could see their weight when they got on it. Also the ...
