We're across the Mississippi!

It turned out that the rain in Mendota didn't just quickly pass and we kept driving through some serious thunderstorms. We crossed into Iowa (a new state for Lisa - #43!) but had to pull over and play cards through some of the heavy downpours. Since it looked like Armageddon outside - we thought it probably wasn't a great night to camp.

Dubuque was the nearest city so we headed there and got a cheap room (with a broken air-conditioner discount) at the Super 8. Time to head towards Nebraska...

Here's a picture of where we crossed the Mississippi:

  1. Whiche and I have a question: What does your blog address mean? "Half fast home at last" is what we're getting... but that doesn't make a lot of sense. Something is grammatically incorrect there. I could tell you, but my brain is fried from my English final. FORTUNATELY IT'S OVER AND I DON'T HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
    Anyway, yeah, we were wondering.
    LOVE WHICHE AND ISABELLE
