Adventures in Wisconsin - Markets, Museums, and Switzerland
Did some extra gallivanting this weekend. Here's some photos.
Went to New Glarus for their annual Wilhelm Tell Festival.
The whole town looks Swiss. No really, the whole town.

Ah New Glarus...founded by one of my ancestors Fridolin Streiff. As my brother in law says, the place is lousy with Strieffs.
