Stephen's 2009 Trip

Day 15 - 8/10/2009

Sioux Falls, SD

Day Highlights

• Walked to Pettigrew Museum
  He was singulary responsibly for making Sioux Falls, SD a tourist destination...among many other things
  Was charged for teason for speaking against WWI. Was defended by Clarence Darrow and won.
  
• Then Walked to Old Courthouse Museum
  One exhibit of interest was old Drive-In diners of the area!
  
• Walked by car on way to Phillips Ave - Had lunch at Skelly's
• Walked along Philips and browsed some shops
• Back to room for a brief rest
• Drove to Terrace Park and visited the Japenese Gardens - nice!
  
• Drove to the Horse Barn at Falls Park that I missed the prior day... The only art I really liked was not for sale...maybe that is for the best
• Back to room to get ready for dinner
• Walked to other side of Big Sioux river and ate at Wild Sage Grille - Great meal! I had a locally raised meat - they named the farmer on the menu
• While eating at the restaurant I saw a path - I asked the waitress about it and she said it went to Falls Park
• So after dinner I walked the .3 miles to the edge of falls park and then the .5 miles into the park - then .5 miles back on the other side and then .3 miles back to the hotel
• I got it around 8:00 pm
• What a FANTASTIC day!
