And the Bridges

2016 Out West, Iowa, Road Trip


Even before the 1992 publication of Robert James Waller’s novel and the 1995 release of the movie starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep the Bridges of Madison County, Iowa have been celebrated. This one was moved to Winterset City Park in 1970 before the first Covered Bridge Festival. We checked it out after a dinner at the Northside Cafe in town but weren’t inclined to seek any others or even any geocaches in this extreme heat. It’s not just the humidity, it’s also the heat, with heat index over 105°F !

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
