Most everyone slept in late and enjoyed a break from the
hussle of our normal mornings of getting ready to ride for the day. It was very
relaxing. Some rode their bikes, some walked, and some rode vehicles into Iowa
City to see the downtown and U of Iowa campus. Julie and I took some people in
a SAG vehicle and we stopped to tour the Old Capitol on the campus. It is the
original Iowa capital building that served for 11 years, before the capital was
moved to Des Moines. It has been totally restored and has many antique
furnishing. It is the focal point of the U of I campus and is beautiful.
We had a very pleasant surprise visit this afternoon. Joan
VandeBerg (sp?), a friend of my niece Kerry Lombardo, stopped in to bring us
and Adam a plate of homemade cookies and greetings from Kerry and her husband,
Michael, and son Sam. They had lived in Iowa City some years ago and the two
gals had worked together and stayed in touch. What a great encouragement!!
At 5:30, we joined New Life Community Church for a worship
service and then back at our camp, they served us to a spaghetti supper.
Nothing like loading up on carbs before our near 100 mile day for tomorrow.
Thank you to New Life! Tomorrow our camp will be just across the Mississippi
River in Fulton, IL. We are always blessed by our Sundays to recharge
physically and spiritually.
Have a great week, and we will be home next weekend!!
