Spring in Spring Green

I wanted to stay in Spring Green overnight in May at the end of a work day, but once again the mosquitoes descended upon me the minute I stepped out of my car and those hopes were dashed.

Instead I had to settle for a quick look around the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center across the road from Taliesin. The house tour is something I consider once a year and then discard when I am confronted with the outrageous price of $54 for the 2 hour guided tour.  If you want to tour the entire estate plan to spend $90 each.  Honestly.

There is a restaurant in the Visitor Center, something I was not aware of.  The ceiling was interesting, and the menu was tempting but they had already closed for the day.  Perhaps lunch next time I swing through for work instead of a house tour, they are only open from 10:00 to 4:00 so plan accordingly.

The gift shop was full of many items to ponder, though none worth pulling out my Mastercard.  Lots of books dedicated to Wright's accomplishments and it was a reminder to me to seek some of those places out even if I can only see them from the outside.

There is a lovely view of the river that is responsible for all the mosquitoes from the windows, though I would imagine there are not as many of those winged pests on the water itself so perhaps that is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon as well.

Lots more from my trip to San Diego to come, I've just been too distracted to get it organized!
