Pammel State Park, Madison County, Iowa --> F.W. Kent Park, near Iowa City, Iowa

July 21, 2004



In the morning we woke up to the rain. It was grey all around and looked like it was going to keep raining all day. This meant that it was going to be cooler! But by the time we drove back to Winterset it started clearing up.
   
       



We had breakfast in this small cafe and it turned out that it had also been part of the movie - a scene had been filmed inside.
   
   

   




After a little 12 o´clock breakfast we drove on to see the last two bridges.

   
       
   
   
           

   
   



Iowa had also some strange town names, like ¨What Cheer.¨

As looking at all these bridges took quite a bit of time we did not drive a lot that day. We hoped to get a nice dinner in the nearby Amana village (Amana villages are a remainder of Amana colonies, a religious community of German immigrants, they boast some cool architecture and old fashioned food) but all we found was overpriced common American steaks and stuff. Pretty soon we found ourselves a little state (or county?) park and cooked a nice meal ourselves - zucchini, fresh corn, soy sausages and tomato all fried together with a lot of garlic and fresh boiled baby potatoes. And then we called it a day.
