Friday, June 6th: Highway 6

I trekked west along Highway 6 from Des Moines to Iowa City.  There were parts of the highway that were closed due to flooding (the flooding will continue to get worse) but it took me through gorgeous farmlands, the Amana Colonies, and some beautiful Iowa scenes. I *miraculously* found Allison and Nate’s place again in Iowa City.  After hanging around the apartment for a while, we had a great night on the town – they had to prove to me that Iowa City has more than PBR available to drink.  We went to a brewhouse, a bar with a great selection of taps — and then to a hole-in-the-wall bar to play/watch foosball with folks in Nate’s cohort, wander through a bluegrass concert, check out the local drag show, and then caught up with some of Allison’s former campaign friends at a sports bar.  All within the same block!  Hello Iowa City!
