Mark and Paula drove to Galena,
Illinois.
The town reminded them of Stillwater, MN, where the town
is along a river and there are antique stores.
|
Before Mark knew it, Paula had a hand
on Civil War General Ulysses S. Grant's leg. Hmmm.
|
 |
This must be the car owned by the
Grinch!
|
 |
Mark was busy photographing girls with
holiday lights.
|
 |
Locals were singing Christmas songs on
the street.
|
  |
Holiday decorations were everywhere
and more were being made that day.
|
 |
Then Paula ran into the Grinch!
Fortunately he was behind a store window and couldn't get out.
|
 |
Imagine that, Santa knows how to play
a bag pipe.
|
 |
The streets came alive with people
after dark.
|
Store windows had people in them.
|
 |
Dorothy and the Straw Man were there
from the Wizard of Oz.
|
 |
 |
Better be good, Santa was checking his
list.
|
Love this town. Mark
