I often go to Des Moines on a work trip, and our hotel shuttle always passes by John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park. I've
always been interested in seeing the park. Finally, on a long layover, I had a chance to go.
I love to photograph art. Thanks to my FA colleague, Kyle, who
took my photos. Our long walk from the hotel to downtown was our exercise for
the day. This is a small town, so the streets were quiet with few people. The weather was nice, the grasses were green, and the flowers were
blooming. I love spring! It snows a lot in Iowa during winter, but there are
good days to enjoy here.
I learned from our driver that Iowa is a major
center of the US insurance industry. According to the records, it is the third-largest insurance capital in the world. So no wonder I've seen a lot of insurance
buildings downtown. We had a selfie with the tallest
building in Des Moines, the Charles Schwab.
Des Moines has been the best business place and was once ranked as the wealthiest city in America. I've never thought that a small town like Des Moines has all these interesting
facts. It is definitely impressive!
