And this is my Bubba:
We got back to our hotel in the nick of time! It just started thundering and raining. It wasn't supposed to rain today. Anyway, this is the Irish Cottage Hotel. It's where we always stay:
This from the park that we were sitting at. This is looking toward the Business District:
This is Main Street:
Main Street is 1 mile long. Scott & I walk up and down this street for hours:
The buildings are home to the loveliest gift shops, home decor stores, specialty shops, clothing boutiques and unique stores:
This one of my favorite stores here in Galena:

It was a very nice day. We're going to have dinner now. Hope you enjoyed my little Galena History tour! And be sure to check out the links I included. Galena has a very rich and beautiful history.

You photos are lovely! And your butt doesn't look big in that pic! At least, not any bigger than mine, and that's all that matters! haha.
Your Bubba is a handsome devil isn't he? Love setting, great photos, and at least the weather was nice for you most of the time too!

The photo's are great Pam, thanks so much for sharing. FYI, the body will adjust with the zoloft eventually and you'll lose that extra weight.
