Friday, July 18: first, let me share with you that I have posted some pictures tonight that actually are a part of older posts. I have had the Mcdonald's wifi in Dubuque, Iowa to do this. It's not fast, but at least it is available. Hope you like the pictures from last Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. You have to scroll down past this post, and the next one about Thursday, July 17.
Today was mostly a driving day, leaving Prairie du Chen, WI and crossing back over the Mississippi River to Marquette and McGregor, IA. After driving around those two towns some, I headed north three miles to Effigy Mounds National Monument. Here I was able to drive the back roads to some ancient Indian mounds that a civilization a long time ago created in simple shapes of bears and birds, cones and links. There was a short walk out to an overlook of the Mississippi River, looking back toward Prairie du Chen. Going back to Marquette, I found a restaurant that made me some yummy fried potatoes (not exactly like my Grandma Cobb’s, but still yummy.). The homemade chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat bread wasn’t bad either. Leaving Marquette, IA on U.S. 18 West, I headed back to U.S. 52. Traveling through small towns, I happened on to some more pre-1900 Roman Catholic churches, and an interesting garden with Roman Catholic religious icons of Saints and the Apostles.
I found a McDonalds here in Dubuque, where I am using their wifi. However, I am fighting my fingers from freezing with a long sleeve shirt and a sweatshirt with a hood to fight off the air conditioning blowing on me. I can’t move from this spot very far, because of the outlet being here—the only one in the seating area.
