Iowa

I arrived in Iowa today. The plane ride wasn't too bad. The first plane to Chicago O'Hare was an hour and 45 minutes, and the second ride from Chicago to Des Moines, IA was 45 minutes (of course, we were delayed). My sinuses hurt on the first plane ride a lot, the roof of my mouth, the back of my neck and throat, they all felt a lot of pressure in the plane.
I ate a cheesecake slice for lunch in Chicago at the airport, it was good.
Then a white limo arrived to take us on a 45 minute ride from Des Moines airport to Iowa State University campus. It is raining extremely hard, I'm glad I brought an umbrella.
The other kids brought so much luggage, 2 or 3, massive checked bags each, plus some carry on luggage. I only have 1 bag, weighed in at 46.5 pounds. (And my carry on backpack)

I think I didn't forget anything...maybe just soap.
:)
I'll write more later.

Oh, the calendar of what we do every day is here:
