I arrived in Iowa City, Iowa on Wednesday 22nd July after 34 hours of travelling. Jessie picked me up at the airport and took me to stay with her and Nikki (both from SP09). During my time I spent in Iowa City I got to go to their Crusade summer bible study (where we taught the uneducated americans to do Tim Tam slams), we went to their church bible study and I also got to go to the county fair in Jessie's hometown. The county fair was so much fun and I got introduced to a "funnel cake" which was fantastic. We also went through all the animal pavilions and debated which animals smelt bad (I think horses smell good in comparision to other farm animals but Jessie definately didn't agree).
After a few days with with them I travelled on a greyhound to Michelle's house (SP07) in Baraboo (it's in Wisconsin) and hung out with her there. I got to hang out with her family and go into her work and watch her teach kids PE in summer school. We also hung out at her farm for awhile and saw all the animals that were running around- I even started to like her dog.
Then Michelle bought me up to see Liz (STINT07) and Luis (her husband) in Oshkosh, WI. We hung out and with her. We went to one of her friend's places and watched the EAA airshow which was really cool- there was helicopter's doing loops and everything. Then Luis and Liz made me mexican food for dinner- we had gucamole, mollete (which is like bread with refried beans and cheese on top) and meat cooked with onions. It was really good!
Anyways that's it for now. I shall update you at my nest location.
See you later
