Madison - corrected

I felt a bit bad about Madison - or to be precise, about my comments on Madison.
It's not as boring as it may have seemed from my description and it actually does have some really nice features apart from lakes:

• plenty of people (including policemen!!) on bikes

• gorgeous Wisconsin cheese curds (it's small fried "balls" of cheese)
  

(the picture was "borrowed from http://www.thenibble.com/reviews/main/cheese/cheese2/cheese-curds.asp)

• a beautiful university campus with a huge terrace directly at one of the lakes
  
• a very nice small zoo with free entrance for everybody
  

• several great bookstores with a huge choice of really good second hand books
  

and of course

• some wonderful people that I was really glad to get to know!
