I also went out to the Field of Dreams. The movie site was only a 30 minute drive from Dubuque. It is a cool place to visit. It doesn’t cost a thing, although I did make a nice donation. People do come from all over to see this place. Some people from Australia and England were leaving as we got there. I’m not sure what they know about baseball. Anyway the place was pretty cool. It looked just like the movie with the exception of the power line going through the middle of the field.

I wish I had done the wave while I was here.

If you build it, he will come.
The hotel I stayed at in Dubuque overlooked the Mississippi River. I did short walks along the river every day I was there.

Prayer Booth. I prayed for Dubuque Star Brewery to reopen.

The Mississippi River was a little bit high
I left Iowa on Thursday; however, the adventure continued in Chicago. Look for an update on the Chicago portion of my trip later this week.

Looks like you had some fun mixed in with the business in Iowa. I'd like to visit the Field of Dreams sometime.
"Pops" and I may have to plan our next western trip to take us through Dubuque. Your pictures would make a good travel brochure for the area.
Love, Mom.
Wow. It does look just like the movie. Who lives in the house? Did Shoeless Joe show up? Did he show up and other people could see him but you couldn't?
The house is for sale. It only cost about 4.5 million. The ghosts come with the field.
