Introducing Iowa

Iowa, home to eight pigs for every one person, is the butt of many jokes, including some stingers from native son Bill Bryson. But, in fact, Iowa holds a host of quirks and charms up its sleeve. The towering bluffs on the Mississippi River and the soaring Loess Hills lining the Missouri River bookend the state; in between you’ll find the writers’ town of Iowa City; the commune-dwelling refrigerator builders of the Amana Colonies; and the Sanskrit-speaking yogic-flying meditators of Vedic City. And you thought it would be dull here.
