Architecture

Flew into Milwaukee yesterday and decided to just take it easy. My friend Mike Levin was already here attending his high school reunion , visiting the town he grew up in, Delvin, and visiting friends.

He arrived about 10 pm last night.

We each organized our gear.

The van picked us up at 9 am sharp. After picking up the other participants we drove to the starting point on the edge of Lake Michigan.

There are two guides and 9 participants.

All different abilities from someone who hadn’t been on a bike in decades to folks that have ridden hundreds of miles a day for multiple days in a row.

Shores of Lake Michigan heading north.

The riding was very enjoyable, being paved,separated from traffic with sun and cool breezes.

Kite festival with a whale and manta ray.

We had lunch in a park, that the guides had prepared and then continued riding to our hotel for the night in a picturesque town named Cedarberg

Hotel and front door
Water tower in Northern Milwaukee water towers serve multiple functions, provide water pressure, emergency water supply, help with navigation for local aircraft, and serve as landmarks

This is architecture!

Notice the texture and multiple planes of depth
City Hall
Notice the address on this and our hotel

The buildings I sawseemed to use the latitude and longitude for their address If not it is a nice feature

My favorite building….

Well OF COURSE!
What do you do with an alleyway?

Plant you fool!

The whole Main Street that I saw was populated with beautiful buildings

One of 5 or 6 churches in town
He too was talking to me but I couldn’t fit him in the handle bar bag

Until tomorrow
