Today\\u2019s destination: Sioux City, Iowa

it\\u2019s different than Sioux Falls, South Dakota. I visited both of them on the same trip.

I left Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and drove to Sioux City, Iowa, to discover what to explore there.

What did I find? It\\u2019s a town of about 85,000 people and a lovely part of mid-America. I felt tradition and a sense of peace and loving people here.

I stayed in an Airbnb with a single, lonely woman in her late 70s. She had lovely plants, a backyard garden, and tips on what to do in town while exploring. I spent hours walking around the town and soaking up the beauty.\\xa0

What\\u2019s different?

Sioux City is in northwest Iowa. The Sioux City Art Center showcases work by artists from the Upper Midwest. Nearby, Sioux City Public Museum has local history displays, including a hands-on replica of a fossil dig site. Play-based educational exhibits are the draw at the LaunchPAD Children\'s Museum. Set inside a dry-docked towboat, the Sergeant Floyd River Museum outlines the shipping history of the Missouri River.\\xa0

It\\u2019s a slow-paced and friendly town, with traditions and happy people. This will be a good spot if you\\u2019re looking for a slice of Americana.

Today\\u2019s Mistake- My friend\\u2019s mistake was Renting a camel in Egypt.

\\xa0

My friend was enjoying the adventure of riding a camel. She was all alone and enjoying it.

And then, she couldn\\u2019t get down from the camel unless she paid a guy named Sal.\\xa0\\xa0

\\xa0

She was trapped.\\xa0

The lesson learned is to Find a reliable person.

You can use websites with published prices and keep them. Don\\u2019t use Sal for your camel rental.

Today\\u2019s Travel Advice-Give, a back massage, get a back massage.

\\xa0

When solo, it\\u2019s hard to make sore muscles feel good.

Here\\u2019s a piece of advice. When you travel, try to relax your neck and shoulder muscles. Stand straight. Don\\u2019t hunch.

\\xa0

And when you want a minute-long clothes-on-back massage, find someone you trust, ask them if they want one, and then give it to them. Then ask them to do the same to you. If they say No, ask someone else. See what happens to your attitude, as this can quickly change your stress level down a few notches.
