Wednesday, May 18, 2011:  Mark and Paula headed to Rapid City, South Dakota.  Along the way, they came across the Black Hills National Cemetery.  MANY fallen heroes were buried here with great respect.  The grounds are kept immaculately clean.

The it was on to downtown Rapid City, South Dakota.  They stopped at the Prairie Edge Trading Company and Galleries.  This well-established store sells Native American art and much more.  It is a musty-see when visiting the Black Hills.

Just a small portion of the inside of Prairie Edge.

Just down the street is the Firehouse Brewing Company and restaurant. 

The make their own brand of beer and serve great meals.

Speaking of meals, Paula enjoyed a terrific salad while Mark bit into a buffalo burger.  Good thing there was no fat or calories in that one!
