Marshalltown, IA: 40 miles

This morning we enjoyed breakfast at Pi Kapp alum Jeremy Galvin's house in Ames and got on the road for our short day. As the morning grew older the heat intensified but we got to lodging before it got too rediculous. We stayed in a music room at the community college that was set up in a "pit" formation, kind of interesting. Today was easily the hostest most humid day and puts yesterday to shame! After showering we were instantly sweaty again, very unfulfilling. For lunch we were treated to pig roast sandwiches by the local Optimist Club and headed to a community center for a Kids on the Block. Thankfully the KOB was in AC because lunch definitely wasn't! After the KOB we played with the kids, the game of the day happened to be cops and robbers. The kids decided they were the cops and that we should all be in jail. Our evening was a lot of fun as we spent some time with the local ARC clients eating dinner and bowling at the local alley. The picture at right is of our lane of bowlers. Winston, Scott, and I had a great time with Katie and Brandi. Katie was one heck of a bowler and dominated Winston in both games. Whe was also quite the dancer to all the music that was playing overhead. Brandi was a country music lover and sang the words to all the songs with Winston and I. The whole team had a blast bowling and really appreciated having another Friendship Visit after our long break since Omaha.
