RANDOM SHOTS - WI

Just a few random pictures from my stay in Madison and weekend trip to Milwaukee!

This first one is a shot of the capitol building in downtown Madison.



I took a few early morning walks and this is just a random street with homes where students will be living in a few weeks.



The Madison Farmers Market was really quite incredible. This is just one of the many beautiful stands of veggies I experienced. Unfortunately, very few free samples!



Just a random picture of me taking a picture at an old parking garage in my travails to Milwaukee..



It got to be pretty late walking around on my trip to Milwaukee.. At this point I was watching people across the street in an open air restaurant. They could just slide the entire front of the place open.. Very cool!



Just thought this was a cool painted sign in downtown Milwaukee.



Took this one just last night in Madison. Lots of cool neon and I love "The Exclusive Company" statement..



On my way back to my condo (ok, dorm room) I walk across an overpass.. this is my view from up top.




This is the Pres House on the UW campus. It is a church focused on student ministry.



You can grab a great burger at the Memorial Union on campus. I ate there tonight and this was my view..



Take pictures and share them on your next trip. I really enjoy it.

NOTE: All pictures were taken using my regular iPhone4 camera or the app called "Hipstamatic".

ROADTRIP TO MILWAUKEE!

Nice day for a roadtrip! C'mon, let's do this..



I opted to catch the official "Badger Bus" from Madison to Milwaukee and have a little adventure. $38 bucks.. COOL, our bus driver (Dick) has just announced that we have FREE WIFI on the bus..

Not surprising, since this IS a LUXURY LINER!!



Never been to Milwaukee so I suppose that's why I'm going...simply to say I've been. I figure that there is no way to experience a place until you experience it like local folk. Yes, it is home to many breweries and one of my all time favorite shows.. "Laverne & Shirley"!



The last bus leaves Milwaukee tonight (back to Mad City) at about 8:30.. So I either spend the night there or catch the bus. My return ticket is good for a year, so there's no wasted cash if I opt to stay..


I'm also doing a vlog of the trip.. Hope you get to see it on YouTube - "jaythebanker".

Traveling mercies..
