Ankeny, IA

So, we've been here a couple of days.  Rita drove here from Davenport.  They said they weren't expecting us, a nice way to be tgreeted on our arrival!  The staff here is nice and helpful but management doesn't manage and is very disorganized.

Rita got an unexpected evening off and so we did some shopping for books and had a lovely dinner at Ranallo's On 3rd, in downtown Ankeny.  We took a picture of the front of the restaurant and wanted to take a picture of the downtown but they have so many trees that's all you see (well pavement and some cars but you can't see the fronts of the buildings until you get right on top of them).

We're here until Sunday, then we fly home and leave again on Wednesday to come back to Iowa, this time to Dubuque, then to Cambridge, OH and then Hankcock, MD before hopefully going home.  Rita's very busy.
