Dear Bonnie,

Worth a visit if you're near Milwaukee, which this basilica is. Must be hard to be discalced in the winter, though.

This Temple

CARD IMAGE:

The Baha'i House of Worship, Wilmette, Illinois, dedicated to the unity of God, the unity of His Prophets, and the unity of mankind. Famed for its architecture and gardens, as well as for its expression of universal religion, this Temple has been visited by more than 800,000 persons. Open daily.

Dear Lynn,

Hope all is well in AZ, even that it's below 100 F. I haven't been here in a few years, but it's one of those places to wow out-of-town visitors.

Point of Interest

CARD IMAGE:

Holy Hill
Shrine of Mary - Help of Christians

The ROSE WINDOW over the choir loft uses a classic image of Mary to honor her Immaculate Conception. Twelve angels surround her; Adam and Eve are portrayed; the promise of a future Redeemer; and the announcement of his imminent arrival. Located 30 miles northwest of Milwaukee on Highway 167.


Dear Geof & Nancy,

I went here because it was an interesting point-of-interest spot on my maps.

Dear Jay & Deb,

It must be hard to be discalced in Wisconsin much of the year, but maybe that's mortification of the flesh.

Dear Wendall & Steph,

No images of the famed CHEESE WINDOW were available in the gift shop, so this will have to do. It is a pretty church on a pretty hill.

Dear Martha,

I'll bet you don't have any Holy Hill cards on your garage wall, if you're still doing that. Not a bad basilica for rural Wisconsin.

Dear Kevin,

The view from Wisc. 167 looks exactly like this in October. The basilica looks small, but it's actually quite large & has some fine stained glass.

Dear Ed,

This is pretty much what it looks like in the fall. Right now there's scaffolding around much of the basilica. Of course there is, when I wanted to see it.

I went to a conference in Kohler, Wisc., recently (near Sheboygan, north of Milwaukee). There were conference hotel cards at $1 each, but I didn't buy those. I got these at Walgreen's.

Nice to talk to you recently. With luck, we'll have more time to talk next time.

This card is from Sheboygan, Wisc. Hummingbirds probably live there sometimes.
