Mason City, IA, USA - 24th March 2013

By: sannah

Hi there!

I was a little lazy with traveling in the past weeks because I had to. First, there is still a lot of snow outside making it not really easy to drive or walk around. And second, sannah twisted her ankle and had to recover first.

We both were glad to leave home for Mason City, Iowa! The town itself is not really a must-see, but we went there for a concert of the Slovenian A Cappella choir Perpetuum Jazzile. It was great - but taking photos was not allowed during the show.

It was snowing (again ...) this morning, so we took only a short walk through downtown. A typical small town in the Midwest I'd say and sannah agreed.

This is a memorial for all soldiers who died in war:

This building once for sure has been beautiful:

Look, I found us an all American car!  :D

This is the post office and courthouse. All official buildings are easily to recognize: the national flag in front of them!

For US standards, this church really looks like one:

And I guess this is art. There were more statues downtown, but this one appeared to be most inviting to climb on.

As I said, not much going on in Mason City - that's it so far!

Best wishes,
Nils
