| Ron and I drove out to Peoria, Illinois where Ron interviewed for a head swim coach position. A job offer was not made to Ron but it was a good trip and we learned quite a bit. Ron enjoyed this stop in Eureka, Illinois to the east of Peoria. |
| I enjoyed an afternoon in the Luthy Botanical Gardens (even though it was 100 degrees on September 1st) |
| A mystery bush: fatsia? |
