Today we had fun exploring a bit of northeast Iowa with our friends. Apparently the artist who painted the rock in the picture below has placed a painted memorial rock in each Iowa county. The Iowa locals in our group knew some of the Iowa men from Delaware County who died at war in the late 60s and early 70s.
Next we went out and hiked a bit at Backbone State Park overlooking the Maquoketa River.
We had an Iowa specialty, pork tenderloin, for lunch in Dubuque
Our last stop was Eagle Point Park in Dubuque where we watched some boats going through a lock on the Mississippi River.
We had excellent Mexican food for dinner at Fiesta Cancun in Manchester.
