Day 20 - Frank Lloyd Wright Country

We have been experiencing an unexpected side benefit of our "little jaunt" across the country. We keep driving thru Frank Lloyd Wright country! In western Pennsylvania we drove past the "Falling Water" house - a house actually built atop a waterfall. Visit their website: http://www.fallingwater.org/

And yesterday we were driving along a Wisconsin highway admiring the lovely green countryside when we came upon several enormous houses and fascinating buildings also created by Frank Lloyd Wright-the Taliesen. I don't have any pictures of this, because we came upon it so suddenly. Actually, we nearly drove off the road rubbernecking. But here is that website: http://www.taliesinpreservation.org/

Then we passed thru Amish country. Not that that has anything to do with Frank Lloyd Wright, but it's still cool. This I have pictures of:

Can you imagine plowing a field with a team of 8 horses?!?

Here we bought yummy soaps and yummy chocolates.

And then! And then...we were driving out of another small town when the car in front of us lost a tire. Literally. The car swerved suddenly and came to a very abrupt stop on the side of the road and the front right tire just kept on going down the road, off the side, and out into a field. We stopped and made sure she was okay. Turns out all four lug nuts sheared completely off. I've never seen that before.

Finally, after driving the entire width of Minnesota, we made it across the Mississippi river and spent the night in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
