Day two of my short trip to the US. You find day one here<\/a>. If you are in another time zone for only a few days, you’d better keep your home time zone – if you can.
So I went to bed early and got up early as well.
Today I had a big circle in mind: from Fitchburg\u2069 to Mukwonago where I had the next hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John was in the Army and liked his ball game. What I don’t really get – are the children 6 feet under as well?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"So <\/picture>
So the children are buried on the land… or under the stone?? Or the parents are under the stone and they had the stone made before – so they can write on it “Our children”??<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Now <\/picture>
Now Floyd is alone. Sad but one is usually the first to go<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodeway Inn Mukwonago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A bit after 16:00, I pulled into the parking lot of the Rodeway Inn Mukwonago in Mukwonago. My hotel for tonight. Nothing special, but it was a bit away from the street, so no noise at night. Got my room and relaxed for the rest of the day with food and a few cold brews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rodeway <\/picture>
Actually, this is the best shower cabin in a very long time! It is huge, so you have enough space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"House <\/picture>
House of Cards again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are close to Mukwonago or Alpine Valley, you can give the Rodeway Inn Mukwonago a try: They have a pool as well, so it is nice to relax. Do not expect too much from the free breakfast. Also, the rooms could use some renovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
