After a great hamburger at the Sunshine Tavern, we enjoyed a real treat last night in Traer, we took in a film at the restored Traer movie house. It was like traveling back in time to the glory days of American theaters in the late 50's and early 60's, and tickets are a DOLLAR... a must visit if you're ever in the area!
This morning we were on the road promptly, but just haven't made the best time. Its nearly 3pm and we've still got about 20 or so miles to go to Charles City. Its hot, humid, but we have a tail wind... not sure whats up with our lack of progress! Iowa is a sea of long low hills, and while its not flat, its also not too bad cycling-wise.
I'm writing from the Clarksville library. "... just take a left at the post office, you can't miss it." Clarksville is another typical midwestern town with friendly people, a drive in, and a downtown area that still has business in it (no Mall!).
Well its back on the road and into the heat. The vague promise of a hot supper and a shower is driving me on... that and the very limited catalog of songs in my mp3 player. Tomorrow at this time we should be in Minnesota!!!
