La Crosse Municipal Marina, Funky but Friendly

We like to walk.  We like Chinese food.  Today we walked 8-1/2 miles for Chinese.  That was too far.  Indian food at 5 miles would have tasted better. Live and learn.


Lansing, Iowa to La Crosse, Wisconsin

Tonight Nellie's 34 miles farther up the Mississippi and in the Municipal Marina in La Crosse, Wisconsin.  We're now 4,083 miles into the trip.  DBH
