Our first strange sighting of the day - a wild peacock!

Bessie meets up with MINIs from all over at the Beloit Rest stop.

Navigator for the day, Jenny!

A bit of a rainy day makes it harder to take decent photos on the road.

The view of downtown.

After a wild goose chase for an ice cream place and a stop at the local thrift store, we arrive back downtown for the chili festival.

Hot cider to compliment my chili dog.

Downtown Monroe

We ducked into a Marv's Farm Toys & Antiques shop while the rain passed.

The ol' ball and chain.

A Pennyfarthing!

Bessie whisks us away for a quick stop at the Swiss Colony factory store. We bought $3 dobosh torte. Regular price $22.

So, then we go back downtown again and go to some antique shops.

The final gathering in Monroe for directions to New Glarus.

Running with the Cows!

The MINIs go for brewery tour, we decide to go straight to downtown New Glarus.

New Glarus is adorned with cows everywhere and signs to jog Jenny's memory of highschool german.
