No, seriously. Iowa's only real claim to fame is that the guy who wrote the "Rambo" series lives in Iowa City. I'm planning on living in London next spring, that'll be a nice change from the midwest.

I have a friend who moved to iowa about 2 years ago, I rarely talk to him anymore... but I can assure you, as I have driven from california to pennsylvania and back, on more than one occasion, the the only thing in between is cows, corn, and desert, and annoying road work... in PA, there is at least a big bell with a crack in it, and the betsy ross house... and stuff... and in california there is a TON of stuff to see, nature people can check out yosemite (extremely beautiful by the way, even more beautiful at the top of a 17 mile hike up a steep mountain known as 'half dome') and then there is so many kinds of musuems in san fransisco. and there is the san diego zoo... there is just so much stuff in california... most other states are pretty boring, notice how I say [U]most[/U] other states, there are a few with something to see... but mostly just cows and corn..
