Trip to Taliesin

I have been in Wisconsin for four days with my high school friend Karen Reinhardt.  As many of you know I was very interested in seeing Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin in Spring Green, Wisconsin.  We ventured there on Thursday for a visit to both Taliesin and Hillside which started as his Aunt's school building.  Both have been added on to dramatically over time.  We were struck by the very low ceilings.  Apparently Mr. Wright was only 5'8" and built for people of his stature.  Our guide said that he felt taller people were "a waste of resources".
We were also struck by the poor condition of Taliesin.  Especially since it is held in a private foundation and our tour tickets were $50 each!!!!
So sorry to all those who were waiting for photos - no interior photos were allowed.  You will have to enjoy the outside and the photos of the amazing valley.
