The next morning... 

 

 

 

The view from the pier 

Downtown Green Lake

 

 

 

Send Lawyers! Guns And Liquor....

... all on-sale here in downtown Green Lake

Princeton WI. Not many pictures because the shopping was too good. A very smart little downtown with upscale, tasteful and eclectic shops. A must if you visit Green Lake. 

For Sale because the owner is taking over the big spa at the Heidelhouse 

Back At The Home

This fountain began it's life at Chicago's 1893 Exposition

A Good Example of some of the unique lighting and decorative features that surrounded us

And Right Next Door...

What befits a Grand Old Party more than Egg Foo Young? 

On The Way To Dinner....

 

Looking up to our digs, We're behind the door directly below the weather vane. 

Late afternoon from our porch 

And, on our way home... 

Good-bye Green Lake

And then it was over.

I'm in the car and we're heading to OshKosh for a visit to a fondly remembered outlet Mall.

Yesterday was our day to explore Ripon - birthplace of the GOP. Ripon, with population of 7620 and a College, is the area metropolis. None the les it is unmemorable enough that we didn'trealize that we'd been here before until we pulled up to the only store of interest.How GOP is that?

Last night we went to the Grandest of Greenlaks Resort, The HeidelHouse to hear a white soul/R&B band. We spent a large part of that time listening to an intoxicated father of two tell us how he was hiding from 'all of the girl talk' up in his room. Mostly he seemed to be wistfully dreaming of some girl action w/the hotties at tye bar. Married but not dead. I of course asked this Red State kinda guy who can fix the mess of the world that he had outlined ('don't be afraid of Korea. Be afraid of Venezuela') he said that we need a steong and smart leader ... 'which we don't have now'. So goes the heartland.
