I left Larson's Landing as early as I could. Packed up the van..took Ruthie for a short walk or as Tom used to say "a short" and headed out. I didn't even fix coffee. I went to Perkins for breakfast and filled up my thermos with coffee.
On the road again. !! (thanks Willie)
I am now in Wisconsin. It is so green and beautiful here. I am in a town called Baraboo. I am staying at a brewery and it is a good thing. Why??? They have a basement..
I was in my van when a loud warning came on "seek shelter, tornado likely". Well sitting in the van wasn't a good idea..so Ruthie and I went to the brewery and they showed us to the basement. Which, by the way, is where they make beer!! The storm passed and we were safe.
I met a really nice couple in the basement. It felt so good to talk to someone. This trip can get lonesome. I wonder if others who have lost a partner feel sad seeing couples together.
Ok..onward to the fun part of the day. The International Crane Foundation Discovery Center. Wow..oh wow. There were cranes there from all over the world. And beautiful wild flowers too. I was lucky I survived almost being eaten by a hippo.
(about the hippo...it seemed a bit weird that he was there..but maybe there is some connection to Cranes and I didn't stop and read about it. )
