Wisconsin in 31 days

Wanted to have a quiet homey retreat in a countryside/smaller city and try the American lifestyle. My lovely ex-flatmate, whom I have not seen in 9 years, offered her place in Milwaukee and it was the perfect place to be. Covered mostly Milwaukee (Wisconsin biggest city) and Madison (Wisconsin capital). Stayed in mostly coz the house is so beautiful that I don't wanna go out.
