ALBERT CITY, IOWA

Al Ludeking, our happy activity director, decided the Ludekings, Browns, and Mulerts, should take a short trip to Albert City for lunch at the Twisted Spoon.

Al gave us this big story about reading about this restaurant in the Iowa Magazine and they were known for their great pies. I personally feel he had an alternative motive-this just happens to be Cal Anderson's hometown, and I think he wanted to see where Cal came from-of course, he always likes to eat! This is what the inside looks like.

If you get the chance to go, we found out that pie is only served on Thursdays-alas, it was Wednesday. Part of our fun consisted of watching one waitress serve almost 50 people, the ones in this room and 20 more in the back. Boy, she could move! The food was good and this isn't one of those one hick restaurant towns. There's another one across the street with painted wood windows, that serves food for dinner.

In case Cal is watching, here's a little more of your downtown. (I should have straightened the picture, but I think it gives it that special "look".

There's also a nice park.

A nice little Swedish town!
