Day Four Minneapolis

All is well.
Departed Chicago after a full day of taking in the company of our friends who live there. Big thank yous to everyone who made time for us in Chicago!
Our first stop outside of the windy city was the Baha'i Place of Worship in Wilmette, IL. Baha'i is the newest of the world faiths, and one that focuses on tolerance and acceptance. The building itself is GORGEOUS and something like a less traditional Muslim style architecture.
Next stop was Milwaukee, WI for lunch with former Bostonian Megan Harriman. A dental student at Marquette, Megan found time to take us to her favorite place for lunch, in Milwaukee's historic 3rd ward. It was delicious. Baxter managed to quaff his entire 16 oz. lemonade before the waitress got back to the wait station. Good Ward.
Listened to Thriller front to back, and decided to text the messaging service Cha Cha to find out who played guitar on Beat It. The answer service replied to Baxter's query with nine texts' worth of lyrics from the Savage Garden song "I want You".
The real fun happened after lunch. We stopped to get gas and switch up the driving situation in Ixonia, WI. This fateful stop yielded a BP station with a zoo attached to it. You read that right, literally, a zoo.
Inside this barnyard were about 30 chickens, 10 goats, 4 asses (not including us), 15 sheep, 3 ponies, a gigantic pile of poop, and one pig...named James Bond. This pig happened to be the ugliest living thing either of us had ever seen. Imagine an orc having mated with miss piggy... Please see the attached video for Baxter's documentary on life in the barnyard. Unreal. (Bax apologizes for the language, but I think it just adds to the feeling :)
At this point Baxter took over driving, and I passed out for a little. When I woke up, Baxter asked me one of the stupidest questions I've ever been asked: Do you want to stop and play mini-golf at the US's largest mini-golf course? OF COURSE I DO. PULL OVER.
We spent the next hour competing for free ice cream on Black Beard's Challenge, the most difficult of the five 18 hole courses at Pirate's Cove in Wisconsin Dells. 90 holes of mini golf on a fake mountain in Wisconsin. Too good to pass up, right? The fact that we still had three hours to drive to MN didn't phase us either. Great stop.
We arrived at the Morins' house around 9pm, and we were hungry. They fed us DELICIOUS homemade chicken soup, and apple pie. So good. Heading to bed now, thanks for reading.
