Day off in Galena, Il

Rita had to work an extra day in Ankeny (not her fault) and so only had one day off, so instead of traveling home and them traveling back to Iowa they let her stay here.  So on Monday we drove the car back to Moline (Quad Cities Airport) and picked up another car and drove along the Mississippi to Galena, Il.  After checking into a hotel and having a nice dinner at an Irish pub Rita got a good nights sleep.  The next day she took a walk in downtown Galena and spent some time at the bookstore. After lunch at One Eleven Main she went back to the hotel for a nap and then back to town for a massage and pedicure at the Clover Day Spa.  After dinner at the Italian place next store it was a nice quiet evening.  Then Wednesday morning after a short but picturesque drive we arrived back in Iowa, across the Mississippi in Dubuque.
