Day fourty-six: Serbian Food

It was a full day in the Milwaukee area, and a good day.

We started out with a tour of Wilderness Log Homes, a company that builds or offers material for log homes (Dad owns some share in the company, as does John Silseth, with whom we are staying). We saw the plant, the offices, samples of the material and product available, and got to learn about the processes involved with a pre-fabricated log home.

We had lunch at a very fascinating place, the American Club. The American Club is across the street from the Kohler factory (in Kohler, WI), and back during the Industrial Revolution, it was the home of the immigrants who worked at the factory. It's now a very fancy resort with a large golf course, beautiful rooms, nice restaurants, and state-of-the-art plumbing, of course.

After lunch, we headed to another part of the building and toured the Kohler show room. It had displays of all the latest and greatest bath tubs, sinks, toilets, and whatever other plumbing you could think of. It was part function, part art.

We drove back through part of Milwaukee, and unfortunately there was a lot of construction going on and we had to take a different route home, and it took longer than anticipated, so we only had about 20 minutes at the house before be had to leave to make our 6:30 dinner reservation at The Three Brothers, a Serbian restaurant.

The Three Brothers is a James Bearde award winner, and serves authentic Serbian food, which was a new and great experience for us. We had stewed lamb, stuffed zucchini, Moussaka, and anything else you could want. It was fun, unique, and delicious.

This evening, we'll relax, and tomorrow, we'll put as many miles behind us as we can to get home. From the Silseth residence, it's 1509 miles. We'll see you when we see you!
