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:
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.

LOVE WHICHE AND ISABELLE
Lisa and Chris et al - Happy Travels, I had hoped to send good wishes before you crossed the VT border! You guys are making good time it seems!
