Home Sweet Home




Here is our new home. The address is 109 N. Mill Street in Decorah, IA. We bought it over the internet so it was unseen until June 30th. It needs some TLC but will work for us. I mean, it has running water, a shower, refrigerator, stove and washer/dryer. What more can we ask for, especially since we have mainly been living in a tent for 3 years?

We didn't keep much in storage but our friends came through and our house is almost fully furnished. We're still lacking a bed and dressers so we are still sleeping on the floor and living out of bins but it will come around.

What are we doing now? We certainly haven't been bored. After going to see our families we have been very busy working on a forclosure house in Cedar Rapids (for pay). I have also been working on my resume and continuing education credits so I can re-instate my Iowa license and work again as a dietitian in Iowa. This week (7/25 - 7/31) is Ragbrai and Ward is providing sag service for a group. I will be joining them on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike again.

The end of the trip was a bitter sweet. We are both ready to get back to a more routine life and to know what is around the corner. However, it has been a dream for so long that it is sad to see it come to an end. Are there plans in the works? Of course. We will be writing a book after we review our 18,000 photos and numerous tablets of journals. We will also be traveling to India and Thailand in 2012.

We'll keep you informed of any new happenings. Until then, thanks to everyone that has been following us and supporting us through the trip. We couldn't have done it without you.

The POLO T-Shirts For Men garment length short somewhat may cause the thigh slightly appears the long spot, the upper garment selects the long turndown collar suitably and inserts the bag. Puts on the straight stripe point to lead the shirt, is a color bright ordinary tie again, hits a basic design the slipknot. Should better put on the POLO Sweaters For Men line not obvious pants. The leather shoes with should thick somewhat, increase the altitude POLO Shirts For Men.
Stature Gao Shouxing the gentleman puts on western-style Polo for women polo lining not to be suitable uses the thin stripe, otherwise the prominent stature shortcoming, the chequer will be the best choice. The upper garment and the pants color are bright on the contrast, this must put on whole set western-style clothing to be better than, the two-row buckles the wide collar's design to be more appropriate. The wide collar shirt matches a moderate fibroin wide tie, should better be the triangle or the vertical small design, adds a turndown collar vest again, causes the build obviously thick. The long sleeve for women should have the obvious pleat line and fold the foot, uses the POLO L-Sleeved Shirt For Men leather belt and the thick bottom shoes, makes one increase the sincere true polo shirt.
