July 4, 2012 Rapid City S.D.

Rapid City South Dakota has bronze statues galore.  Today we walked around town and got photos of all the bronze statues of  U.S  Presidents..up to now.  Obama has not been done and donated by anyone yet.  They are downtown on each street corner.  We also visited memorials of several wars and  sections of the Berlin Wall.  Crossing a cool bridge in Memorial Park we saw this bike down in the water.  We took  photos of  statues in other sections of town....and photos of "old town America " main street.   All the classic old buildings, including the old fire station, with the old  place names permanently on them have been repurposed as  quaint  stores and restaurants.  It was incredibly windy today.  You can see how windy by the flag and my hair !!!  Because of the dry conditions,fires and winds in the area, fireworks are banned here this year...we shall see...
