Madison is the capital of Wisconsin. It is considered the second largest city in WI after Milwaukee. It has University of Wisconsin- Madison that has the biggest campus in WI. It is a public research university. It has football team its "Bucky Badger." When I went to Madison as a trip with my classmates we stayed in the hotel in Sate Street. This is famous street because it has the Capital Hill.
It also has many restaurants from different country like Turkey, India, China, Italian, Japanese, and many hotels. People can just walk or use bikes in this street, but no cars in it. Madison has biggest Framer’s Market in WI. The farmers meet in Saturday and take place around the Capitol Square. The farmers sell their homegrown produce. They also have live music, coffee and sweets.
I also like the Memorial Union its located on Mendota Lake. There are dig open area that has live music, food, many people walk and dance. I also visited the Capital Building. The first building built in 1838 and it was replaced by new larger building in 1863. Then between 1906 and 1917 the current Capitol built because the fire. It is only State Capitol built on an isthmus. It is surround by beautiful flowers.
Inside The Capital there are many beautiful historical paintings, different kind of stones, and amazing glass mosaics. The designers use Italian German styles in the State Supreme Court room and French and Italian marble the Senate Chamber. I also learned about government in WI. There are three branches for government. First branch is the Executive Branch; the governor is the leader, his job is make sure that the laws are followed, and his room is Supreme Court room. Second branch is Legislative Branch; it is made up of the senate and assembly and their job are creating new laws. The third branch is Judicial Branch; it is lead by the Supreme Court, and his job is explaining laws and making sure they followed.
