In the hot, muggy Midwest

I'm thinking that I may never complain about our weather in the Pacific Northwest again! We have been traveling through almost record heat in the very humid Midwest, and it's like walking into a hot, wet wool blanket:instantly hot, wet and with fogged up glasses. Today we'll head north into Canada so we hope it will cool down somewhat. We traveled through the last bit of Minnesota, all of Iowa and about a third of Illinois. Tomorrow will be a short drive day but today will be another long one. We are a little tired, however its been worth every bit of it. I don't think I've laughed this much, ever! We are enough alike that we tend to see humor in the same things and the billboards (which we don't have in Oregon anymore) have provided a lot of it. I'll explain later however my hand is going numb so I had best go. More on the adventures later.
