The Capitol isn't the only thing to see and do in Madison, of course. Just as the Dane County Farmer's Market was ending on the square, Maxwell Street Days was starting. It's basically a massive street sale, so all of the shops along State Street (which has been closed) set up tables and racks with all of their clearance and sale merchandise, pull it out onto the sidewalk and street, a few performers show up and, Wallah! You have an event where thousands show up.

| There were so many interesting ethnic restaurants and markets - I wish I had time to try them! |

| Takin a break - it was overcast and comfortable most of the day, but when the sun finally came out it was oppressive! |

| Cooling off our hot feet! |

I didn't find any cool treasures, but it sure was a fun day to be in Mad-town! Next time, I will get a hotel, stay for a night or two, visit the museums and Frank Lloyd Wright buildings in the area, rent a bike and ride around one of the lakes, and try some of those restaurants.

I ask again...will you go with me next time? I'll try some of those restaurants with you...
I love the butter t-shirt. You should have bought it. :)
