We started our trek with a stop at the National Music Museum at Vermillion, SD.
Wow - what a wonderful journey into the world of making music. They have a multi-media tour (you get a Dell Axim PDA and a pair of headphones) where you get to hear, see and learn much more about exhibits in all the galleries and hallways.

Among the many wonders - we all saw our first Stradivarius violin, cello AND guitar! A crutch that's also a guitar. Hardanger fiddles. A piano with 7 pedals. And a complete gamelan ensemble from Java (commissioned and built for the museum). We even were treated to a gamelan rehearsal while we were there.
We finished our trek for the day in Grand Island, NE at the Travelodge motel. We were very pleasantly surprised at the very nice accomodations. We used our Wyndham Reward Points to pay for the room - so it was "free"...so to speak.
We dined at chez Pizza Hut. Pzone's all around...
