Trying to get back into running, a lovely run around the very quiet park.
Waiting for the boys to wait up, breakfast, get the RV ready to go…
And on the road by 8.30 am.
We are very surprised at the number of bike trails and fitness activities available in Iowa. You could get very fit in Iowa…
Our views today, corn, barns, corn, farmhouses, corn, cows, corn, cows.
We did not realise until discussing with locals that there are two types of corn grown, the type we can eat and the type that is grown for dairy feed.
It is possible that most of the corn we have seen today is cow food.
Time to pull over for gas.
Across the yellow River, following railway lines and then through the small cute river town of Marquette before we crossed the Mississippi River and into Wisconsin.
More c & c (cows and corn), the fields so beautifully green.
Through the small town of Gotham and more driving until we arrived at Waunakee, Wisconsin, to visit another old Buccaneer basketball veteran, Joe Regnier and his gorgeous family, wife Sharon and their boys, Michael and Drew.
We spent a lovely afternoon playing bag (it’s an American thing), table tennis and shooting hoops in their amazing indoor basketball court.
An absolutely delicious (probably our best in America) home-cooked dinner, a lovely walk to the park with their beautiful dog Chester and then a fabulous end to the evening chasing fireflies. Another wonderful day filled with laughs, new friends and spoilt with their generous hospitality.
