Line Dancing while you eat

It seems a while since we entered Nebraska, I guess because it has been a while, apart form a brief run into Iowa, flies and storms, we are now concluding the ride through this state, Tomorrow we say good bye to  Nebraska and hello to Kansas.

One more thought about Iowa though, while there we met wit the manager of the RV site, he told us that he had a photo that we might be interested in, it turns out to be the original photograph of the flag raising over Imo Jima Probably the most famous photograph to come out of WW 2.  For more info on this go here Click this link

But here is the manager, Jim,and the original photo.  He very kindly ran a photo copy for us.



And so back to Nebraska and cutting South along the very Eastern border alongside the Missouri River.

And yes, what can you do when you come onto an old grain elevator in the rain?  Well photograph it!


This in the town of Tekamah






Any colour as long as its a pick with a v8!

The evening saw us treated to a very good steak at a Texas Road House.  The food and company were both very good but was a little bit of a surprise was the line dancing.  Every hour on the hour the music for line dancing would start and the staff would lurch into a line dance. Maybe two minutes, than stop and carry on whatever they were doing before. Amazingly almost no one took notice.

Sometimes its hard for an Englishman to understand the American culture.


and good steak, no doubt they had been on the feed lot just before.




and finally, a water tower....never seen in the UK quite like this but always on this ride.






Have a good 'un.....B
