Just a tad breezy today.
We're still in South Dakota, can't seem to leave :-) Today we went to the Akta Lakota Museum & Cultural Center. It is on the campus of the St Joseph's Indian School, a boarding school for Indian children. There is a whole admission application that the parents have to make out. The kids get a mainstream education as well as vocational training and classes/clubs related to their heritage. The art work in the museum is stunning. Couldn't take any pictures inside but we spent a great deal of time there. We then went to one of the nearby reservations. Carole, we knew immediately when we came to the Rez housing and we saw the total Rez cars, of course we thought of you because you would understand exactly what we are talking about. We had lunch at the casino and sucked a bit of money into the slots. The Lakota are the largest growers of corn for pop corn in the nation. They even have their own brand of pop corn in the grocery store, (we saw it there but didn't buy any). It has been very windy here. There is nothing to stop the wind, rolling hills (the humpy, bumpy mountains) and acres of pasture or farm land. It blew around 30 mph most of the day. Teeming rain one minute then sunshine, very strange weather. We are heading off tomorrow, not sure where we will end up. Maybe Iowa or close to the border we'll let you know when we get there.
