Easter in Sinsinawa......just across the border in Wisconsin from Dubuque, Iowa is the "Mound", Motherhouse of Sinsinawa Dominican Sisters. Michele's good friend from college invited us to spend Easter at the Mound on our way back to Minnesota.....
Drove to Dubuque and saw barge traffic on the Mississipi....lock #11
We stayed in a suite at the Mound and our RV relaxed next to the cemetery.....
We had a wonderful, relaxing time and are off to Mason City.....
