On Saturday we toured our state capitol. It is absolutely amazing! It took eleven years to build (com- pleted 1917), has granite, stone, and marble from around the world, and has the 4th largest dome in the world (volume). The mosaics, murals, and natural light prompted me to stare and say, 'wow!' Some estimate the building to be worth 2 billion dollars. The tour gal did her little recitation in each area and gave us an insight into the world of state government. I'd recommend the tour to any Wisconsin resident.
