Iowa and back again

Quote of the day:

I spent last week bumming around eastern Iowa, my home state. I would like to give a shout out to Ryan and Will at Iowa City West. We had a good conversation about African shark stories.
It was a good week of visiting students. I went to the St. Ambrose fair and visited students in the Quad cities, Iowa City and Cedar Rapids. I got to go to the Amana colonies. Though I grew up in Iowa, I have never been there before. I also stopped at the world's largest truck stop. It definitely lives up to its name. It was far bigger than any other truck stop that I have been to before.
My travels are mostly done for this fall. All in all, during high school visits, I sat through two fire drills and one tornado drill at Culver Academies. I always loathed fire drills in high school and that loathing has not changed much over the years. Needless to say, it was interesting to sit through them. I also got to travel around four states, see friends and family, and meet a lot of new friends along the way. It has been a good travel season so far and is mostly over. It has worn me out a bit, but I have been happy to see all of those that I met with you.
