and traded it for the gorgeous, untouched portions of Lake Michigan's coast. This was the view along nearly the entire route today:
Better yet, this was our lunch stop, where we took a refreshing swim in the cold lake waters to cool us from the day's heat:
Before we knew it, the century from Chicago to Milwaukee was over, and we had arrived:
Arriving in Milwaukee, we stopped off at a local park down by the lake shore, where we took another cold dip. For some reason, this dip seemed much, much colder than the first. It was the second coldest body of water that I had ever been in (first being the waters off of Maine's coast).
The city itself was small and reminded me more of a college town. Walking through it's more populated areas reminded me of home.
And there was the thought--home. We have come such a long way, but still have so much more to go. Thank God, because I'm not nearly done touring the country yet!
Movin' on to Madison,

Today was dedicated to a store owner the team met on the way into Chicago who is currently undergoing treatment for breast cancer (we unfortunately forgot to get her name!). Stay strong, we wish you the best!
