I-O-What?!

We are in IOWA!  And our camera is malfunctioning...  Luckily, though, cyclists all around us are snapping photos constantly.  We will borrow some of their photos and try tweaking our camera too.  In the meantime, you can go to www.flickr.com and search "seatosea2008" to find some of these glorious photos our friends have been taking.

Anyhow, we are in wonderful Iowa- the place of Dave's birth and Larry's alma mater and church home.  We have seen so many friends and family- it's awesome!  In Sioux City, Larry visited with around 8 of his former congregants at the camp site and then got to stay with one of the couples at their home for the night.  We stopped by a church today on our route for refreshments and spotted two of Larry's cousins right off the bat.  Then at a celebration service tonight, a whole horde of Meyers appeared out of the crowd to cheer us on and see if we were really still alive and kicking.  

We're doing alright still.  The plan is to bike 113 miles tomorrow, to do a radio interview and a newspaper interview and still have time for supper, a shower, and a little time to rest.  Your prayers for a tailwind would be much appreciated :).

Goodnight all.  We're having a great time and hoping the same for all of you.

Liz and Dave!!
I just finished reading your blog for the past two weeks. Sorry I haven't written soon, some things came up, but anyway... I just can't say how awesome this trip is. You are done with the mountains!!! You saw Andrea! We are looking forward to you moving closer in on Grand Rapids and the east side of Michigan!! My encouragement runneth over for you both.
