Iowa pics

The group. Guess which one was fool that cut himself skinny dipping...


I took the follow pics during a walk my last night in Mount Vernon, Iowa. The sun was rapidly setting so the pics aren't the best - but I'm sure you get the point. The place is adorable. Victorian houses galore and 95% of them have gorgeous gardens and landscaping. Hostas out the wazoo.










"Downtown." Seriously though, in addition to the normal pharmacy and a few antique shops, they had a natural food store, a fair trade store and some restaurants with vegetarian cuisine. Plus, the people were so nice.
A pic of the chapel on campus - King's Chapel, I think it was called. This photo doesn't show much of the campus, but Cornell College was as adorable as the rest of the town. Check 'em out if you're ever in Iowa.

On the plane back I sat next to some wacky woman named Jennifer from Fairfield, Iowa. She was telling me all about this wack-sounding green design/architecture method from ancient India. Similar to Feng Shui but older. Fairfield sound like an interesting place...
