Madison showed us around the Isthmus today and it was so much fun! What a great place!! So much to see and do!!
What an awesome city!! Man would this be a great place to go to college. Part of its beauty is that it is built on an isthmus! State street is a fun place to visit. We learned all about the U of W and their rivalry with the U of M. We also learned that the Gophers have not had the Paul Bunyan's Axe for quite some time.
Madison also has a rich cycling history with the Heidens' and the Phinney's.
