I'm Not Leaving on a Jet Plane
Pilgrimage to Canada | Day One: Iowa
I left Omaha this morning at 5:00 am due to yet another day - we’re on day four - of the hot and humid, heat-advisory, stay inside and drink lots of water forecast. The first stop on my pilgrimage to Toronto, Ontario is Fairfield, Iowa. Iowa used to be so cool (“cool” as in progressive and sane) as recently as the early 2000s, but what is still really cool is Fairfield. This is due to the presence of the Maharishi University campus giving the town its Yogic vibe, but even more cool is their local grocery store, Everybody’s Whole Foods. It harkens me back to the early 90s when I managed a natural foods store called the Grainery Wholefoods Market in Ralston, Nebraska.
I doubt I will get past Burlington today - maybe to Peoria, Illinois. Did I mention the heat/humidity?
See you here tomorrow…
Blessings & Love,
