It started to rain soon after we left North Liberty and kept it up almost all the way to Altoona. It's interesting to hear speculation about the rains and the crops -- "Is it too little, too late?"
We arrived at Adventureland Campground a little after two-thirty. It was good to see our friend Bill out walking just after we checked in at the office! It's been a long time since they left us in Florida to head north for their summer jobs here at Adventureland. Leslie was already off at work, so we will not get to see her until the park closes at ten tonight.
Bill took Forry and I out for a wonderful dinner at a nearby Mongolian Wok. I had been thinking about making stir-fry for dinner, so thought it was a great idea.
When we got back, we walked around the campground a bit. This is part of a lovely flower garden a couple of sites down from us. I wish I knew what this gorgeous vine is --
This vegetable garden actually has some cabbages and tomato plants. Bill said it has been a big job for the lady to keep it wet enough during the extremely hot weather they have had here all month.
We stayed up and watched the Olympic Opening Ceremony from London last night. What an interesting funky spectacle it was. I really liked the tongue-in-cheek British sense of humor. I chortled when Queen Elizabeth parachuted from the helicopter,,,!
The vine is mandevilla. Cathi
