As we left Chicago it finally rained. And rained and rained. It didn't stop until we got out of Illinois. Luckily we were going to one of the nicest places in the world.

| Welcome to Fort Dodge, Iowa |
Stan and Gail were people the Liar and I had met in a pizzeria in Vienna, and they invited us to stay with them as we crossed the midwest. They weren't kidding; we arrived to find four beds made and ready for us, a dinner table laid out and steaks already prepared. We ate vegetables fresh from Stan's garden and talked about places we had been and things we'd done.

Gail had made an astounding dessert; cakey brownies and fudgey brownies, served with ice cream. The leftovers were packed for us to take with us on the road. They provided amazing sustenance for our trip.

| I had both. And ice-cream. |
That night we all slept like infants.
Wikipedia says 'Iowa is often known as the "Food Capital of the World'. Of course you felt at home there. You are the food capitalist of the world.
ReplyDeleteStan & Gail looked after you all impressively well. Bless you Stan & Gail.
