Headed for Chi-Town, but first Wisconsin!

We were aiming to get out of South Dakota but we checked out Sioux Falls before we left and there were yet again a ton more bison we saw. It's so cool to see these awesome animals. We stopped at the Walmart in Albert Lea, Minnesota so we could get a fresh start on headed for Wisconsin in the morning. We managed to sleep okay but the wind was really whipping on us in the parking lot.

We woke up and headed for Wisconsin. We drove and drove and drove and decided to stop in Milwaukee to stop for a beer and some famous Wisconsin beer-battered, deep fried cheese curds. Watch out mozzarella cheese sticks cuz you ain't got nothing on some deep fried cheese curds. Holy Moly them things were good! Now, I had no idea what a cheese curd was so here is a little definition for all of you out there: Cheese curds are the fresh curds of the cheese. They are the clumps of casein and milk components that are formed during the cheese making process. They have a springy, rubbery texture and should be eaten within hours of manufacturing. That is why they are a regional dish, since you have to have dairy farms readily close by. So there is your cheese lesson for the day.

Milwaukee was super clean and filled with such wonderful things: Cheese, Beer and Harley Davidson! What a trifecta! We stopped in at the Miller Time Pub to sample the local cuisine: Beer & Cheese. And we were so bloated we couldn't leave. I guess that's how they get ya to stay in Wisconsin. We walked around the Downtown area and saw the Harley Davidson Museum & tons of beer factories and cheese farms. We had our fill and shot down to Illinois to try Chicago!

No pictures from this town, we didn't want evidence of our gluttony!
