Here is the Mississippi River...and my finger.
Morgan and Matt sleeping. Andy being annoying.
We learn a little something everyday.
When we were in Chicago we had some deep dish pizza. This pizza was so good it only took one to fill all three of us up!
We crossed the Mississippi into Iowa. Here is the proof.
Here is our cottage! What a blessing this was.
Speachless.
Patrick MacDonald makes some great pancakes!
We stayed in some folks cottage in Dubuque, IA. They had mega marshmellows! Almost as big as a normal size cell phone.
Anyone seen Into the Wild? This is the magic bus!
A nice bit of Iowa countryside. The only piece of Iowa not covered in corn.
We stopped to smell the roses at this rather large rose garden. The caretaker ended up being more interesting than the roses. Our camera died so we only got a picture of the sign and one rose bush...
We passed about 500 of these puppies today. These wings are 80 feet long and they cost 1 millionn dollars a piece to build. They also probably provide much of Iowa with energy. The wind really blows out here!
We have seen a whole lot of these gas stations and stores across the midwest. They have become a part of our journey.
1. Giordano's pizza is the best pizza ever. I don't care what New Yorker's say.
ReplyDelete2. My counsins are riding in RAGBRAI this year.
3. Patrick MacDonald? or Patrick MacIntyre? I'm confused.
4. Gas is WAY cheaper in Iowa than here. No fair.
Praying for you guys.
Great to meet you guys in State Center! Have a safe rest of the trip.

1. Giordano's is good, but Anna's is better.
ReplyDelete2. Everybody is riding in RAGBRAI this year.
3. It's actually Patrick McIntyre. I don't think anybody east of IL knows my name isn't actually patmac. Maybe I shouldn't have told them it was....
4. Gas is WAY cheaper here. IL has a lot of gas taxes.
Love the stormtrooper pic. He looks like he is staring at you guys thinking, "Nice spandex!"
Nice Into The Wild reference! Great book.
