2017.06.01-Kieler, WI
This is the breath-taking view from the front of the coach.  There are tall trees over us so it is nice, shady and lots of birds singing.  It has also been very windy here, so we get to hear the leaves rustling in the wind.  Oh, I forgot to mention, the highs have been in the low 70s and the lows are in the high 40s.  😊


Since it was a short drive to Kieler Wisconsin from Davenport Iowa we had time to wander around the downtown of Dubuque, IA which is just across the Mississippi from the campground.

Jerry enjoyed the architecture on the Court House but, the downtown was not terribly tourist friendly.  There seemed to be lots of empty industrial-type buildings.  There was a feed store a few blocks from the Court House.  Guess we are truly in farm country.








Next on the downtown agenda was the National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium.  Lots of things to do and see.  I got to touch some sting-rays.  They let some folks feed them.  After the feeding, they let the public put their hands in the water to see if they would come up to you.  And, they did!  Oh, so soft and slick!

There were several buildings in this complex.  As we walked between buildings there were two birds of prey on exhibit.  We felt sorry for them being confined like that but they had been injured.  A red-tailed hawk only had one wing and a bald eagle was there but we don’t know why.



Yesterday while I was doing some laundry in their laundromat I noticed this telephone in there.  I’m not sure if it worked, but I needed a picture of it anyway.
