My last missive was a bit premature—we didn’t quite make it to SD, just over the border. Our day started at Bluebird Cafe, since the hotel breakfast was lacking. We shared an omelette and Cinnamon Roll French Toast.
If I were you, I wouldn’t take one of these.
Onto the category of corporate symbols—in this case, Newton IA’s Maytag Repairman. Remember “The Dependability People”?
Another strange monument—”Laid Back Easter Island” statue next to a kid’s playground in Altoona, IA.
We moved onto our third State Capitol of the trip in Des Moines. Even more ornate than Illinois.
Apparently, the Secretary of State is a Marvel fan.
This is a massive mosaic.
Their law library was massive—looks like a scene from Myst.
Then it was a few hour drive across Western Iowa, interspersed with giant…
…wrenches…
…bikes…
…and popcorn balls.
OK, that’ll do it for today. Onto South Dakota, this time for real. #gowestboomers
