I was recently back in the US for my cousin Amy's wedding, which took place in Lincoln, Nebraska. It was a lovely time and I got to catch up with family as well as meet a couple of new people. But landing in Chicago, it also meant driving through Iowa. One neat landmark in Cedar Rapids we visited is the National Czech & Slovak Museum and Library. There was a clock modelled on the Orloj in Prague. I didn't feel at all homesick until we drove back into Wisconsin. Although this time I did not travel any farther north than Milwaukee, some scenery even in Southern Wisconsin can compete with the rural landscapes and forests of the North Central parts of the state!
