Welcome, Bienvenidos, Bienvenue, Willkommen, to... IOWA!
Seriously, this is how happy I was to not be in Nebraska any more.
I don't mean to say that Nebraska is boring, but I did find performing a requirements analysis on four RFPs a welcome break from the state's scenery. I don't mean to say that Nebraska is boring, but upon leaving I was excited to notice that I was about to enter Iowa. I don't mean to say that Nebraska is boring, but when I was flipping through the photos I took yesterday thought my camera was broken because EVERY ONE LOOKED THE SAME. OK that's not fair. Nebraska was just fine. Patrick and I went Cowboy hat shopping at two western/rodeo stores:
Driving through Iowa has been odd... All I that really stands out to me from being behind the wheel for 4.5 hours of the state is:
--Bob Feller Museum
--Herbert Hoover Birthplace
--John Wayne Birthplace
--Dutch Immigrants Museum
--Seeing the first chicken truck of the trip (the Roostah had to admit that he has it quite good, comparatively)
--First traffic since the left coast
Still, it's not Nebraska. And it did have some good scenery. Rolling hills and such (photos from Pat, see the rest on flickr):
Also, we're staying across from the "Worlds Largest Truckstop" in a divey motel. Pics and parking drama tomorrow morning. And now to bed.
More pics after the jump.
