To the Badlands

We had a very relaxing day today. We got up and went to the Corn Palace which is a massive structure covered with all manner of corn products in various colors to form pictures. This year's theme is everyday heroes. We took a tour inside and learned about the history of the buiding which was really interesting.

After that Chris drove us a few hundred miles to the Badlands. We are eating dinner now and I chose this restaurant because it was the only one I could find and it had free wireless internet access. The Badlands Inn does not have internet so this will be short. Dinner just arrived. If you're on the tech team at Calvert and reading this I am turning off the computer and putting it safely away from all food and drink products.

We are going to watch the sun set from an overlook and do a few hikes tomorrow. Then we head off to Mount Rushmore.
