truck stop lounge

 i started the day in ames, iowa, at my hotel. it was nice to get continental breakfast. after that there was not much else to do. check out and get on the road. although i did take some pictures in ames first, not sure when i would be there again. i made more stops than on friday's drive as i was tired. i made three, and the last one was in faribault. there was a truck stop lounge inside of a speedway gas station, i happened to find the stairs to it in the back. but i did not go in as there was a sign saying 'you will be asked to leave if you don't have a CDL license'. i still benefited from getting out of the car and walking around a little before resuming the drive home. during my walks for the day i found 1 dollar 57 cents. it didn't take long to unpack, but i still needed to do other things such as get groceries. and return the rental car to the airport. i did the evening meal after returning the car, went through emails, then fell asleep for a while. not much in postal mail, but the postcard from last weekend's visit to st. louis was there. i recall a writing class saying that sending yourself a postcard is a good way of remembering travels.
