on thunderstorms and how I never made it to broadway paper...

the Riverwalk

So my time in Milwaukee is quickly coming to an end. I will be outta here by morning...early morning. It was a great short trip packed with a nice long walk, dinner along the river and growling thunderstorms. That's new for me since this Cali girl rarely gets to experience storms of any kind. The agency set up a really cool "get to know Milwaukee" tour for us. It really is a novel idea. A gentleman came and picked us up from the Metro and then proceeded to take us on a fabulous tour of the city. A few days prior, the company sent us a questionnaire asking us what we liked to do, the type of living situation we preferred and based on our responses, created a tour tailored to us. I have to say we loved the Third Ward and could totally picture living there. We saw a bunch of beautiful lofts all facing the river with huge balconies and tons of space. It's really a sweet little city with a small town feel...oh and a hour and a half to Chicago doesn't hurt.

My only worry would be the weather. The folks walking around didn't seem the least bit phased by the pouring rain. I on the other hand love looking at rain but not really having to do anything in it which could be a problem. After a while it cleared up a bit and I decided to take a small trek to Broadway Paper while Keith took care of business. Only problem...I didn't quite know where it was and relied on the doorman of my hotel which was really a doorboy with a terrible sense of direction. I just kept walking and walking and walking...in the wrong direction. By the time I realized it and made it all the way back to where I started...I was sweating like a pig and a little bit mad. Sorry Broadway Paper...i'll hit you up next time. So that was it. Home tomorrow. We'll see how things go. We're indecisive so who knows.
