Taliesin

We are now back across the beautiful Mississippi in Iowa, in the small town of Decorah, in the most beautiful RV park we've yet seen with wide green lawns and bike trails leading for miles and miles around town.







The last thing we did in Wisconsin was a tour of Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's personal home.
Very, very beautiful with tour guides who really know their business - fascinating. Pricey but well worth it and you see why they need the high price tags. It's a big job trying to preserve this place that was designed more for beauty than for structural soundness. The home is wrapped around the top of a hill from which the views are incredible. No glaciers came through this swath of SW Wisconsin and NE Iowa to level hills. The land rolls and rolls and the sun and rain create lush, lush landscapes.
