Iowa Travelogue 2

itl2-1

Wow! We made it to Des Moines, Iowa. I wonder what we’ll see here.

itl2-2

I thought you might enjoy seeing the capital building – the dome is 23 karat gold leaf.

itl2-3

Just to prove I was there.

itl2-4

These were interesting flowers. Everything’s new to us and interesting. Who knows when we might return? Might as well see as much as we can.

itl2-5

One of several sculptures in a sculpture garden downtown.

itl2-6

And from inside it looking up. See how blue the sky is?

itl2-7

This is what we like to call chocolate luck. We don’t actively seek out the fine chocolate shops but when you happen upon one – the nice thing to do, no matter how difficult, is to go in and look around.

itl2-8

Not to mention delightful . . .

itl2-9

and delicious.

Tomorrow we head for the Teddy Bear Reunion. I feel certain there’s more of Iowa to see along the way.

Thanks for joining us on our adventure to the heartland!

  9. I have enjoyed reading your blog about your trip. We have some very pretty rolling farm land here in the Midwest. I don't know the highway that you took to Des Moines, but I live about an hour north of Kansas City. Missouri. Enjoy your visit to the Midwest and I hope you had a wonderful trip.
