We enjoyed our day of travel through four different states. Starting out in Ohio, we passed through Indiana, then Illinois and finally into Iowa. A real change of scenery has us looking at flat land instead of mountains and open views of farm fields instead of the closed-in experience of trees on either side of the road. We had a good bit of rain today, but only when we were riding. Our sightseeing stop was at Notre Dame University with a guided tour through the Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Stained glass windows, a ceiling with murals and gold stars painted on a brilliant blue background plus the stations of the cross were done over 17 years by talented artists. The result is breathtakingly beautiful. Tonight we are back in the same hotel we used on Day 1. We've stayed in enough different hotels so that at least one couple forgot their room number at the last stop and got another key made for what turned out to be someone else's room!-Laurel Johnson, Tour Director
