La Quinta Inn And Suites 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 ...

We rode for 630km today .... a bit more really because we did a few<br>detours trying to find a place for a deep-pan pizza lunch (very<br>difficult since most places are closed on Sundays, which we didn't know<br>- or expect!) and at around the 200 km mark on my odometer, we found<br>ourselves on the Chicago Sky route (this narrow highway 'bridge' with<br>no shoulder) and so we had to turn off quickly to try and find any gas<br>station or risk me running ...

... from where I work. I hope this discussion comes up again among the teachers...<br><br>We arrive in India at 12:35 a.m. (Delhi time) on the 3rd. I'll write again whenever I get the opportunity Friday. So far I have received some very encouraging comments from friends and family- keep them coming! I feel so loved and blessed as I set off on this adventure. Thanks and stay posted!

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 ...

... Alaskan Highway.  I will do a separate blog on the Alaska trip so I can get the pictures separate, really beautiful up there.  I am totally regressing here, I intended to get started on a blog so I could learn how to do this and get some pictures up. I will post some pictures with this blog that document getting the rig, driving the rig home, home and being in ...

... can sort of still feel while walking in the University section of town. Peanut Butter Icecream is to die for! We had a walk around the grounds of Mendoda Mental Insitution where Janis works and it was beautiful. A few spring flowers were out. Quote of the day for all my work collegues "Women who conform are rarely recorded in history"

... gave off such positive energy that I was drawn to her. At one of the nightly campfire circles before dinner, I went over to her and told her what positive energy she was giving to me. I proceeded to sit down across from her at dinner and told her how my life completely changed the previous Sunday. She then proceeded to tell me that exact same day that all of my change came, she broke things off with her fiancé, and change had completely taken over her as well. As we were ...

... 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 ...
