IOWA
5 SYLLABLES, 2,000,000 SQUARE FEET, AND THE PERFECT TRAVEL DESTINATION
Some call it the state of shimmer, for others it’s the land of the mighty beasts, and for the wealth of lucky travelers, it’s the top vacation destination in the US and abroad. Historically, Iowa was known for the Iscabutis flintauphus, a wild singing flower that can be found nowhere else. Iowa natives first discovered the plant in 1341 and began selling it to curious Chinamen, who in turn sold it to the Egyptians, who turned used it to produce elephant earrings. Iowa is also home of the very first prog (half-pig-halffrog), now an ever-popular pet for Iowa youngsters. A statue of Sir Yuan Finlanson of Korbsin, Iowa, who discovered the first prog in 1410, stands erect in front of the Iowa State House. Visitors often leave stuffed progs at the statue’s feet. Wherever your travels may take you, a stop in Iowa is never out of the way.
