pictures from Iowa

It's picture time. Here's Dubuque, in case you don't ever make it there (but if you're ever passing by, you should try).

This is the shortest, steepest train.


We got on from the bottom


Here we are going up.


Here's the view from the top, the trees in the background are Wisconsin. There's a bridge (the arch to the right) and to the right of it is Illinois. And the trees and city are Iowa.


This is a view to show how steep the track is.



Here's the inside of St. Luke's (the organ was restored by a company from Michigan!)

Row houses

I really liked this fence and the flowers behind it were so pretty.

This was the view from our room.

This was the clock tower.

I have more pictures, but I just wanted to give you an overview.
