Ever since I first watched Field of Dreams, I wanted to see the American midwest - Iowa specifically. Meeting and ending up in a relationship with a guy from Iowa was not actually part of the plan but it worked out rather well. In November, for the American Thanksgiving, Jon took me home to Iowa to meet his family.
Different then Canada, I think Thanksgiving is bigger then Christmas in the States. It was an amazing trip and Jon's family welcomed me with open arms. The weather was cold but held for the time we were there and I got to experience my first harvest. All I can say is that combines are very cool and I had a great time driving the big Case tractor.
I am looking forward already to our next trip to Iowa. Hopefully next time it will be a little earlier in the year so that the photographs do not look quite so desolate!
