In Chicago

After South Dakota we went to Iowa. Most of Iowa around I-80 actually has landscape very much like in Denmark. There are many places where I’d easily make that mistake if it wasn’t for the buildings (and a slightly warmer weather). The most striking difference is, however, the distances. In Denmark you would get some changes in the landscape after maybe 50 miles (80km) – here it was just the same for 100s of miles.

In Iowa we wanted to stop in Madison County to take some pictures of the covered bridges there. Besides being something kind of special it was also the subject of the book and the movie “Bridges of Madison County”. We were here just one day after full moon, so I wanted to pretend that it would be the full moon rising over one of the bridges and take a picture of it.

We stayed on a campground in Winterset, in the city park actually, which was really nice. The next day, before heading the road, we went “downtown” to get pancakes for breakfast. Right now we are in the suburbs of Chicago, staying at a WalMart (again) and using the WiFi from some fast food joint!

    Bridges of Madison County is one my favorite books – I read it when I was a teenager i guess and I have loved it ever since.
