On Saturday Marion, Kristin, Sarah and I made our walking tour through Eau Claire. The sun was shining and it was so hot when we went trough the streets of Eau Claire. But even though, we enjoyed our trip and we took a lot of pictures from the several historic buildings. After finishing our tour, we stopped in a Teashop where we got delicious iced tea... (Infinitea) which was just great. :-)) It was a funny day and we definitely plan to visit some of these buidings again! :-)
