Somewhere in the middle of Amerca--specifically, Mitchell, South Dakota--is this wonderful place made of corn.  True, the "World's Only Corn Palace" is covered inside and out with murals made of corn cobs  Sadly, not a Springer Spaniel among the lot.  But, I now understand why the local high school is "home of the Mitchell Kernels".

After a long day's drive, it was a nice reward to see this stunning sunset as we settled into Minneapolis, Minnesota.
