In Iowa

This past week, I went to Des Moines, Iowa to help out my former roomie Jessica with some business related to her late dad's estate and other stuff.

The first day or so was spent decompressing from the long flight and to try out a local sushi restaurant, Wasabi, in Ankeny, a Des Moines suburb. It has been a while since either of us had sushi, so it was an extra special treat.

I had to fly in via Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. It is hard these days to get a direct flight anywhere at a reasonable cost. 

The Des Moines International Airport was roughly the size of the Albuquerque Sunport, but much older. they are a undergoing some building at the airport. 

I took a few photos:
