MVBF- Mississippi Valley Blues Festival

Our new clingy friends... Shad flies.They flew in Friday night as we were sleeping. It was very humid and temps were in the high 80's that night even at 11:30p.m. so Bob had decided to sleep on the deck with Wicket. Good thing he used a dark brown towel as a blanket because none landed on him.  They seem to light on light colors. He didn't know they were even there until he woke up.

The Bix Beiderbecke Band Shell in Le Claire Park, Davenport.  The blues festival has begun.

One of our favorites was Paul Rishell and Annie Raines.  Bob attended a free workshop with these two.

Enjoying & relaxing at the blues festival.

Came across your blog, and am very interested in hearing more about your life aboard on the US waterways. Since I'm currently in Cincinnati, and the Ohio river is sitting right there, it makes me wonder what life on the rivers is like.
