Keeping with some semblance of posting events chronologically (even though I am posting this far in the future after my vacation has completed, and am back-dating again), the next big event on my road trip was seeing The House on the Rock in Spring Green, Wisconsin.
When His Countness picked me up from the airport, I was trying to explain the sights within:
“And then there is this room that is a maritime museum that winds around a three-story tall statue of a whale fighting a squid.”
“Uh-huh.”
“And there is this carousel that has no horses on it, the animals are all roosters and centaurs and bulldogs and such.”
“Really?”
“And there are these mannequin angles flying above the carousel.”
“What?”
“And the walls of the room are filled with wooden horses.”
This stunning dialogue continued for quite some time. I haven’t even touched on the life-sized diorama of Hannibal crossing the Alps or the mysteries of the Organ Room.
In closing, The House on the Rock is awesome. In the original sense of the word.
