Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Both states, gorgeous. Granted both today and yesterday were amazingly beautiful days, but both Madison and Minneapolis were very pretty cities.
In Madison, I got to see my old roommate Pat and his fiancee, and we walked around downtown and had dinner. We then went to University of Wisconsin's union, and they have an amazing outdoor deck that overlooks one of the lakes (there are three in Madison) and they serve beer. It was pretty impressive. Pat's fiancee's apartment, where we stayed, overlooked one of the lakes and I couldn't believe how pretty it was. We then went to this hippy place to eat breakfast, which was delicious.
The drive to Minnesota was very pretty, and no traffic for the most part. We're staying with some of Jackie's friends from college. They took us to the Mall of America and then to a sculpture garden. We didn't see much of the city itself, but what we saw was very nice.
Tomorrow we are going off to Badlands National Park, and there is a very good chance we will have no internet while out there. Hopefully I can update in a few days. Sorry no pictures yet (too busy to do it) but hoping when I get to Portland I can upload a ton. Until then...
