Day 45 June 27 Saturday




We have arrived in Dubuque and already spent a great evening with Jack's cousins. Sitting outside with great view of Mississippi and Dubuque. Started out today in the Amana Colonies. Always wondered about it. Very interesting as a commune that lasted over 80 years. See picture. A few shops with a variety of things and I liked the museum.


We then headed to the Herbert Hoover Museum and Library. Nicely done and apparently recently redone. Learned a lot of things I didn't know before about him and the times he lived in. Continues to be very hot and some threat of rain. Picture is Hoover as a younger man.
