We are sitting at the Express Service center in Madison, WI because our right headlight went out and we (already) need an oil change. The waiting room has free wi-fi and I just got the chance to catch up on the last few bog entries Matt has been writing. Before I begin our next entry about Chicago and Wisconsin I need to record some things that Matthew forgot.

The Zingerman's cheeses that we bought:

#1 Piave aged cow's milk cheese like a younger cousin on parmesan - a little bit softer and not as grainy but very delicious

#2 Rennecker (we're not sure about the spelling) it was a pale orange color - like an aged gouda, semi-hard cheese and very grainy.

We choose these two because they didn't really need to be refrigerated. We're still eating them!

The Crane's stop in Michigan:

"Crane's" is really "Crane's Pie Pantry Restaurant" and in addition to the corn maze they had a full restaurant (which looked really good, all american/farm food made with a lot of local stuff), a full bakery, and then a to-go shack which sold pies (whole and by the slice) with whip cream or a la mode, fresh doughnuts, apple dumplings and cider. We got apple crisp a la mode and doughnuts (still warm!) but they were unfortunately out of pumpkin pie.

Pictures coming soon!
