Chippewa Valley Museum

Chippewa Valley Museum was fantastic. To see history of the Chippewa people and the early European settlers, and the process of develop-ment on site was exciting. What I like most is our tour guide. The old man himself is a legend to me. I like the story of his having trouble with his cow which he finally got rid of. I couldn't help laughing about the mother's smooth hands favored by the cow. I enjoyed sitting in the classroom for children, connecting them to my childhood memories. When I imagined his school days as a boy with crystal eyes, I had my childhood memories back: the keen senses of smell, of touching, and of catching particular words or things which I believed were only meant to me. Talking with the old guide was also delightful. He is intelligent and kind, not supposedly grouchy. He has lived long enough to be a wise man.

In Chinese tradition, I'm already at the age of knowing my fate. I guess that's why I thought I took the gentleman as the best part of my visit to the Museum.
