I think Iowa looks a fair bit like Connecticut (only more space between the mountains, perhaps) - we have a lot of cornfields around here too and I know what you mean about the smells!

Hopefully the greeness makes up for it! I took an Animal Science course when I was at A&M for undergrad--the pig farm tour was so smelly I had to throw away my clothes from that day. Seriously nasty. :(Andra Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08061332679414246811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2860494635287401541.post-75558760911640139652007-07-09T11:27:00.000-05:002007-07-09T11:27:00.000-05:00We were climbing the Hill of Death at exactly the ...We were climbing the Hill of Death at exactly the same moment I think - my friend Melissa biffed it right behind me and fell over (who you must have seen in all her grace - she had fun making fun of herself about that afterwards, especially since she fell over at the dismount line as well)and I passed Duane right before I started climbing as well. There were a lot of people walking their bikes up that hill though! Perhaps you were the lucky soul that I said "I hate this f%$&(# hill" to :-)<BR/><BR/>This was my first open water swim, so I am glad to know that all of them aren't that crowded - I could not get a groove on!<BR/><BR/>Well, welcome to Iowa! With the faint smell of pigs everywhere! And as long as you know which direction you are facing and are okay with driving on gravel, you can't really get that lost here :-)Danielle in Iowa in Irelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12274576534281164011noreply@blogger.com
