In the World...

Before leaving the nicest city park we have ever seen, we decided to visit the largest truck stop in the world, The I-80 Truck Stop. You hear that and you think "come on, really?" Well, it was like a small city overall and the main building was the size of a Walmart, with three levels and two restaurants. Also a barber (where the boys got spruced up), a dentist, chiropractor...














And the bling. Be still my heart, or should I say Craig and Tom's hearts. Paula and I thought we might have to pull them away. You can get pretty much anything here. 

There is also a Trucking Museum with trucks going back to the turn of the 20th century. The museum is free and worth a visit.

Finally, we are on to Dubuque, IA. Well, actually staying at a cute park in Kieler, WI. Lovely people and a serene view out over the green fields. Tomorrow, Craig and I are on to Frank Lloyd Wrights home, Taliesin. I can't wait.

But the end of our day was a lot of fun. We visited the shortest, steepest scenic railway in the world. In Dubuque, of all places. The Fenelon Place Elevator was built so the mayor could have more time during lunch to take a nap. The things people will do.
