Really didn’t expect Cajun in the Midwest, but it was quite good (and the closest restaurant to my hotel). Blackened catfish, tilapia and shrimp. 

Iowa pork tenderloin sandwich 😋

Today, driving from Peoria, Illinois to Des Moines, Iowa, where I’ll spend the next two nights. Once again, avoiding freeways.

Not sure what I’ll do in Des Moines, but so far, every city I’ve visited has revealed some unexpected pleasure. Hopefully this will be true in Des Moines also.
