Des Moines

We drove through downtown Des Moines. There wasn’t much to see being the time of year (winter) but I did notice several Italian groceries and restaurants which indicated a sizable Italian population. I hope that any future visits are more productive.

That’s their marketing line – city of skywalks. I visited a friend and the art museum where he worked. It was a great museum. He had a gorgeous home for low rent. We ate at some nice restaurants. And we walked the skywalks. Except for seeing Geoff, it could have been anywhere else.

Seems a cool enough city, except nearly everything’s closed on Sundays.

Went for business, but spent most of my free time in the East Village. Enjoying some fabulous food and shopping there.
