Goodbye, Iowa. YOu will be missed for your beautiful greenery and how polished your small towns are. Hello, Minnesota, where the people seem friendly; home of my favorite TV show ever, Mystery Science Theater 3000. Last night we stayed in a church again, and the route leaders made us chili, and now I'm here sitting in this diner. Other than collecting "Welcome to This State" signs, I feel like I'm riding towards my future; a future full of relationships, success, safety and exploration. I feel much more confident about myself on this trip than I have in the past.
Plus, I now have some really cool Wheaties socks, courtesy of Jenn who talked me into them. And a new sticker for my bike - first one this trip! - for the Effigy Mounds national monument.
