Day 25..Where in the world is Saroj?? MIlwaukee, Wisconsin

We left the forests and lakes and drove south on the country roads along the Michigan lake. We passed beautiful little towns and the forest slowly gave way to farms and pastures. I noticed that farms in Wisconsin look smaller and more family owned. Right now , we are in Milwaukee, the biggest city and the capital of Wisconsin. It is old and industrial town and you can tell it is. Why are we here then? Good question. There are several gems in the city and we thought it might be nice to see a real city after almost a month. I do not think, we missed too much.




Our first stop was horticultural DOME. These are three domes with three different climates. It is fun and educational. We saw plants from all over the world. This is outside of one of the three domes.


One of the domes had the cactii and other desert plants.

This dome had formal gardens and was very pretty.

We are staying in the downtown Hyatt ( thanks to Price line) There is river walk right along the Milwaukee river which is nice and quite historic. Lot of the buildings and warehouses are converted into cafes and shops. The river runs right through the middle of the downtown.

Lake Michigan is on the east side of downtown. All within the walking distance. This is a picture of the Art Museum from the outside. We will see the inside in the morning. We drove along the lake and saw many amazing mansions with huge lawns, gates and lake fronts. We are told this is mostly old money.

There are few more interesting things to see and do but in general the town itself is nothing to write home about but is interesting to see it once. I noticed , more than half of the people smoke here.

Good night and sleep well.
