Here are a few things I love about Iowa City:

--the river
--feeding the ducks by the river (with good company)
--Whitey's ice cream
--Micky's burger baskets
--walking on the campus in the evening
--the way the old capitol is lit up at night
--the ped mall and all the different people there.
--friends I have had forever, and friends I am just now getting to know better

I'm heading to Chicagoland tomorrow to see Cori before she flies on to Dakar. It's going to be bittersweet, I'm sure. I'm dreading the actual drive, Chicago stresses me out...but seeing Cori will be good. So if you think of it, pray for safety...Chicago really scares me!! :)
