On the road to Iowa

Rollerskating was a blast the other night.  Although we were twice as old as anyone there.  We still had a great time.  Yesterday we got all our stuff packed back up and then had a nice breakfast with our friends before we left town.

Our first stop from there was the Villa Katherine.  It's a beautiful castle in Quincy Illinois overlooking the Mississippi river.  It was designed with influence from the Islamic world.  It was quite breathtaking.  Then we went down the road just a bit to a nice little park so we could walk Boo.

Villa Katherine
We kept down the Great River Road for a while but didn't make another stop until we got to our destination of Iowa City.  We arrived at the Krohe's just in time for dinner last night.  And then it was our first night sleeping in the van.  It got cold outside but we had enough blankets to keep us toasty.

Off to see some sites in Iowa City now.  I'll get more pictures online when I can.  Here is the Picasa album where they will be  https://picasaweb.google.com/102362877173286307539
