Update from Marshall, Minnesota

After leaving Dodgeville, we visited Taliesin, Frank Lloyd-Wright's gaff. Fairly interesting but getting a bit dilapidated. They say that Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona is better. Headed West to La Crosse where we crossed the Mississippi then went North alongside the river and stayed overnight at Red Wing Minnesota.

So far today (Wed. 21st Sep) we have followed Minnesota Route 19 all the way West through farmland, farmland and farmland: a very quiet but good road, just as we like it. Have just stopped for a coffee and scone (it's lunchtime) in Marshall. Intend to carry on West till we hit South Dakota where we will overnight.

I really wish we'd got you a camera phone before you left. Then we'd be able to see snaps of these places you're visiting as well as reading about them. Of course, there's nothing to stop you getting one while you're over there. I know you love gadgets, Fatha.

BTW, a good travelog would provide links to the websites of the places you talk about, you know... ;-)

Thanks to Malcolm we can keep tabs on you! Sounds like you guys are having fun, though I didn't read anything about any local brews you may have tried... Have you had any cheese curds yet? I am a little upset you bypassed the wonderfully flat, corn state of Iowa... :) Take care!
