May 31

It's a beautiful, sunny Sunday and we spent 3 hours visiting Dave and Judy (Annette's parents) with Mark working on internet issues. And then we were off............drove 320 miles today and are parked in Wal*Mart parking lot in Mason City, Iowa.

After a delicious dinner at The Mexican Plaza, we got a few groceries at Wal*Mart (bananas are .64 a lb. - wow.....I can remember when they were .10 a lb.)!!!! We did not bring our bikes along....so walking will be our main source of exercise AND watching what we eat!!!!! Now, that will be the big challenge!!!

Good to be "back on the road again" after a fun, busy 6 weeks at home! Tomorrow, we'll be trekking thru Minnesota!
