I spent a bunch of my weekend driving through and staying in Iowa.

I competed in The NPC Battle of Champions (Bodybuilding Show) over the weekend. The show was in Council Bluffs, Iowa which is on the other side...like right next to Nebraska, other side.

So I was able to see a lot of Iowa. More than I ever really wanted to see.

As we arrived close to Council Bluffs, there were these weird art structures. Kinda reminded me of "Symbol" so I sorta felt at home.

I have a feeling I will go back, so I thought I'd look up some fun Iowa facts.

According to MOVOTO there are 45 Things About Iowa You Probably Didn’t Know, here are a few:

  • In the state of Iowa, it is illegal for a mustached man to kiss a woman in public.
  • Iowa is home to the National Hobo Convention, which takes place every year in Britt in celebration of the American traveler
  • Hogs outnumber humans four to one in Iowa, and with approximately 3 million people living in the state, you would think the bovines are hogging all the space

In all seriousness I had a great time in Iowa, and really didn't mind the long drive. Oh, and I took 2nd Place.
