Good weather for the whole drive up to Iowa City - clear blue sky, a bit of wind (but nothing that opening a few windows couldn't fix), and very mild temperature. Very flat countryside, and perhaps rather boring if one were to drive it regularly, but it is all part of the 'American' experience.
Starting to realise that this blog is becoming something of a millstone, and something of a chore to undertake each day. Consequently I will probably be offering fewer and/or less insights - this may well come as a relief; however, as this blog had always only ever been a way for us to keep track of our own movements, I am not going to apologise for its further descent into tedium.
Made it to John and Valerie's, although Valerie has conveniently found a way of avoiding us again by having to attend a work annual meeting in Baltimore - she will be returning this Friday......allegedly.
Good to see John, Hannah and Elliot again - rather like settling back into a favourite comfortable old sofa, but without having to wriggle so much. Although that is an added bonus.
Returned the car, and then back to John's for dinner and resumption of conversation from where we last left off. There are times when it is nice that certain things don't change - John's shorts in particular. Gorgeous house - very comfortable and well renovated - much like John's shorts in many respects.
