It was not long after leaving Williamsburg that we came to the Iowa border and passed through Kansas City into Iowa. In the process had to go through the city of Kansas City.
There is a lot of flat farm land in Iowa and everyone has heard of Iowa Corn but a lot of the land we passed through was laying fallow this year or it is too early for crops to be showing.
You also see quite a bit of cattle in Iowa but they don’t look right to me. I can’t put my finger on it but something is different about the cows in Iowa. However they do make good cheese.
It was in the great state of Iowa that Kathy revealed to me her true thoughts on retirement.
We crossed into Minnesota around 3 PM and continued onto the town of Owatonna where we stopped in at friends we had met while wintering in Hemet. Bert and Barb Antoine spend the summers here and were very gracious by not only inviting us to supper but let us hook up in their driveway for the night.
We had a delightful evening enjoying a great dinner, catching up, talking about new travels and ending it with a walk around Owatonna. They are very nice people and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening with them and thank them very much for their hospitality.

Looks like there was more talking than walking
