Iowa

We left Illinois this morning and started heading west.  We passed a lot of farms and corn fields along the way and drove as far as Dubuque, Iowa where we have stopped for the night. Dubuque is located along the Mississippi River.  We didn't have the time to explore the city, but it looked like a very nice place.  Nearby is the movie location where they filmed "Field of Dreams".  It is a very popular tourist spot.  There were several storm warnings out this evening.  The sky actually started looking pretty scary. We had lots of rain, lightening, thunder, and wind, but luckily no tornados.  Tomorrow we'll be driving northwest.
