part 3.
one fall trip, she is here alone and she is planning on going to elkhorn/kimballton, iowa where the danish immigrant museum is. and would i drive her.
so we take her rental to iowa. i got an iowa map so we could take the most scenic route to south west iowa.
WELL, there are no reservations and very very tiny state/national parks. i did find a couple and we took an intersting route there. we stayed the week with Eivind and Jeannette Lillehoj. i sppent time at the museum and mostly bummed around the area and spent time with eivind who was a 70+ yearold LIBERAL and we would talk politics and history.
oh, i forgot the estate sale we went to before leaving. benedicte liked it, but it was last day 1/2 price and i got an old 1879 etching i had not spotted the 1st day. $5 for such a nice etching and later i found out he joined the hudson river painters and he had been the motzart of etching. WAY COOL!
but we had a fun week. heck, i even joined benedicte on a trip to Omaha to see the mini symphony and dinner in a chi chi hotel restaurant. but the best steak i had there was a sports bar.
oh, i was 2000, because we discusssed the election.
