now just three years ago we were in the process of examinations and interviews to come to us for here. At one point, an adviser to the MEC for the Midwest suggested we met for the Iowa I think, read the guidance of the state, where they spoke of 97,000 farms, of which 94% of the land was arable land, small villages separated by several hours by car ... and decided that no, it's best to test for Illinois. Three years later we decided to give an opportunity for a weekend. At bottom, the site was immaterial. What mattered was that we stayed with our friends and Jose Noel, residents of Madrid and residents in Sioux City, on the border between Iowa and Nebraska. Began this adventure with them and with them will end soon, and we wanted to see us at least once more on American soil be decided midway in a small town called Waterloo.
Since we had time, we went the long way and were able to verify that the state can be described in three words: corn, corn, corn. Still, urban oasis that we not only liked us, some of us surprised.
The first thing we found was Iowa City, former capital of the state, and now a bustling university town, with ... Pedestrian! We walk a while in the middle and have a coffee while Helena and Peter played a while in a playground.
A couple of hours and 35 million hectares of grain after we arrived at Waterloo, where we established the base camp. Waterloo is attached to a very cool little town called Cedar Falls. We were able to stroll through its quiet streets and parks, porcupines eat and drink, play some gigs and throw us a lot of laughs recalling the incidents of recent years. 
On Sunday morning we said goodbye to firm intention to meet again this year. On the way home, this time by the shortest way, stop in Dubuque, a small town on the Mississippi border makes three states, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin. In this mini-video is the city from a hill which is reached by cable car.
few hours later, after a stop for lunch in Galena, and in Illinois, we got home, tired but happy.
