spiderwort mentioned film location quests.
I was in Iowa and went to the Bridges of Madison County bridges (several have been arson burned since then) and to Francesca's House. The house was closed that day but I sat on the porch rocking chair, peered into the windows and took home a souvenir black walnut from the yard.
Also in Iowa, made a special trip to The Field of Dreams playing field. For a while they used to play ball there in olde-timey uniforms on Sunday afternoons. I don't know whether or not they still do that. I was not the only one there being somewhat reluctant to cross the line a la Doc Lancaster. LOVE that movie to pieces !
Near all of these places is Winterset, Iowa, birthplace of John Wayne. His boyhood home is open for tours. A busload of senior citizens had just arrived when I was there and I didn't have time to do more than a quick look at the outside and the gift shop so I left it for another trip.
