Amazing Travel Photos from 2017 Part 3: WITS in Milwaukee and Austin

Milwaukee has never been on my go-to list. My trip there in April 2017 was for the Women in Travel Summit, WITS, a travel conference I love to go to. I was surprised by how much I liked the city! Lake Michigan, three rivers convergence, beautiful architecture, and a very cool art museum, with a section shaped like the prow of a ship, made Milwaukee a wonderful surprise! If you ever get a chance to see the city, take it! I would love to go again and really take the time to immerse myself in the city.

City Hall is worth a visit. I love the clock tower.
It may have been an overcast day, but it didn’t take away from the beautiful architecture. See the bird of prey in the top right?
City Hall is beautiful.
Milwaukee is a water city…Lake Michigan and 3 rivers converge in her boundaries.

The Milwaukee Art Museum is one of the largest in the country.
The Quadracci Pavilion is a sculptural, postmodern addition designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. It looks like a sailboat!
My friend Suzanne and I marvelled at the beautiful pavilion on Lake Michigan!
We had a beautiful day at the lakefront.

I go to Austin quite frequently, and in July I went to see my son and daughter in law, and to see Andrea Marshall (Ray of Hope Expeditions and Marine Megafauna Foundation) announce a third species of Manta Ray at a scientific conference. I took Andrea and her family to see the bats at Ann Richard’s Congress St Bridge, but we received more than we bargained for…a huge thunderstorm! In any weather, I love the city of Austin!
