I Wonder as I Wander…

The next retreat (and last for this year) was in Madison, WI. Since it’s closer, we decided to drive—although it is a 10 hour drive. We broke it up by driving to the cities one day, then going over to Madison for the retreat. Driving back to the cities the next day and then driving home on Sunday. Since my friend, Linda, from the cities was going, we picked her up and she rode with us. It gave us a great time to visit and eat together.

It was a beautiful, sunshiny time and the Wisconsin country side is very beautiful. I was especially impressed with the area around La Crosse, WI. It is in the Mississippi River valley—so you go down through cliffs of sandstone before you cross the river. Of course there are so many neat dairy farms in Wisconsin (hence all the cheese).

Part of our retreat was right downtown--I love the Monona Terrace Convention Center--it's so beautiful!
