Leaving Nebraska, I was warmly welcomed into Iowa, as you can see. My only stop in the state was at the capital, Des Moines (which of course means "of the Moines" in French), which was another very pleasant place to stop.
The Capitol's up on a big hill overlooking the rest of downtown. It's unique among state capitols in that it has not one but five domes. The gold is a beautiful touch too. It was open, so I went in for a look around. Again, it was very beautiful, right down to the library.
I asked about the Liberty Bell replica, and the guide said, "Oh, it's out on the far end of the parking lot..." Nice...
Near there though were some England-esque war-memorial statues, worthy of Trafalgar square.
