Quick update

It's vacation! Yippee! We toured parts of Nebraska yesterday and spent the night in Valentine. We started this morning at Smith Falls, which was lovely and cool and had no bugs - unlike the path to the falls, which was sunny and humid and had a lot of bugs.

We stopped in Pierre, SD, around lunchtime and toured the state capital. It's a pretty impressive building and contains some incredible artwork.

When we got to Bismarck, ND, we took a tour on the Missouri River. It's not like the Mississippi - at least not here. It's not used for commercial traffic, which the Mississippi is. It was a pleasant ride, though.
