While travelling along the Interstates from St.Paul, Mn to Santa Fe, NM on Interstates 35E, 80, and 25, we stopped at a variety of rest stops--some really nice and others that were pretty rustic. This one in Iowa had kiosks of glass that celebrated various historical modes of transportation. Pretty impressive. In a few days I will begin posting photographs of our vacation in Santa Fe; stick around, in the meantime, enjoy the ride!
On my first post for this blog, "A Peek of the Future? I promised that I'd identify the subject in the photo. Several statues are in the courtyard of the St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral located in the Plaza, but the one I showed you on 2/3/10 is the most interesting. It immortalizes Kateri Tekawitha (1656-1680) said to be the first Native American elevated to sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church. Take another look!
