Trip- Day 5- Iowa to Nauvoo, Illinois

 Iowa corn fields.  The corn is so tall.  The Mortensen Owl is with us.
 We were in Fort Madison, Iowa and paid a toll to cross a bridge over the Mississippi into Illinois.  A beautiful river.
 Nauvoo, Illinois.  The Temple is beautiful.  We are staying at the motel part of Hotel Nauvoo.  Everything takes you back in time.
 Sites around Nauvoo.
 Outside the Visitors Center we saw the Historical Vignette of the "Women of Nauvoo" in the Women's Garden
 We saw the play "High Hopes and Riverboats"
 We saw the "Rendezvous in Old Nauvoo" in the old restored Cultural Hall
Night time photos of the temple and statues of Joseph and Hyrum Smith on horseback.
