Hi mom! Tonight I arrived in Newton, Iowa, to visit my new host, Luci! A couple things about Newton, Iowa:
Newton is a city in and the county seat of Jasper County, Iowa, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 15,579. It is the home of Maytag Dairy Farms and was formerly home to the Maytag Corporation's corporate headquarters until the Whirlpool Corporation acquired it in 2006. It is also the location of Iowa Speedway.
We went up to her apartment to get acquainted and enjoy our first night together.
First, I snuggled into the couch with my blanket.
Luci was playing some text rpg on her computer and invited me to play along.
Here I met Charlie. 
And to top it all off, we had some delicious snacks - extra sharp cheddar and sour punch straws! Very balanced!
Well, it's been a long journey and a full night for me. It's off to bed with another update tomorrow.
