Day 2 in Madison, WI

Wisconsin welcomed us, but Illinois never thanked us for coming

First beer of the trip at the Great Dane Brew Pub downtown

What our founding father now represents (lunch anyone?)

Enjoying our first German restaurant experience...

and they dressed in authentic garb and served us lots of carbs :)

Things Learned on Day 2:

1. Rush hour in Indianapolis is very tame: nobody tailgates, honks, or shows the bird while waiting patiently
2. Chicago is very expensive to drive through, but at least our East Coast EZPass worked for those 10+ tolls
3. Madison, WI was named after our 4th President, James Madison, while 38 of the streets were named for signers of the Constitution
4. Its not an island, but you can see a body of water on either side of the city
5. The students enjoyed their afternoon in the low 70's with sunbathing, biking, running, and eating lunch on the beach...I don't recall life being so difficult ;)
