I love weekends! One of the many things that makes me work hard and long through the week is knowing that the weekend is coming. Most weekends, especially in summer, I tend to have a pretty packed schedule. It seems unfair that a lot of movies come out in summer, because there are so many other activities to do, all those outdoorsy things.
Madison has a vast variety of things one can do on the weekend. The lakes are beautiful, and one can spend a relaxing weekend from lazing around at the Union Terrace to an active bike ride or a visit to the Wisconsin Dells.
Today, I'm headed up to Devil's Lake, a great Wisconsin treasure, only about a 45 minute drive from Madison. At Devil's Lake, hiking, rock climbing, canoeing, swimming, BBQing and camping are some of the fun activites that draw thousands of people every summer. The lake is fed by natural springs and is truly a beautiful sight.
I hope that some of you get a chance to visit this gorgeous place.

Crazy Midwest Weather
It is Friday today, and this morning, the weather is quite pleasant. Last Sunday through Tuesday were a total boiler which led to crazy storms on Wednesday night. What is with this crazy midwest weather?
The good thing about summer is that it motivates one to wake up earlier, especially if one is in a mood to go biking or such as it gets hot later in the day. On a hot afternoon, a dip in the pool is quite refreshing. It does come as a surprise to most that one of the largest waterparks in the US (Noah's Ark) is a few miles north of Madison, in the Wisconsin Dells.
More about Madtown tomorrow!

My First Blog - Madtown
This is my first blog ever. So, what does one write in their first ever blog? I decided to write a little about the place that I'm currently at - the city of Madison in Wisconsin, the US of A.
Madison is a small city that is very green in the summer, full of fall colors in Autumn and snow white in winter. Seasonal charm definitely keeps things interesting on this isthmus bordered by lakes Monona and Mendota.
The people of Madison are fun-loving, liberal and intelligent, taking an active part in shaping the future of both Wisconsin as well as the US. What convinced me to move to Madison, or Madtown was one of its nicknames - "Berkeley of the midwest".
Here is the official government site for Madison and here is another popular site Madison.com.
