Jim didn’t sleep much last night and he had chills.  Every time I rolled over and touched him he felt really hot to me.  When we got up, he told me he had a headache.  He didn’t want to hang around camp and rest so we went to Herbert Hoover National Historic Site. The Park Service has preserved the little village where Hoover lived as a youth. We saw the two-room house where he was born.  Beside it is his presidential library and the graves of him and his wife.  We went through the library and saw a movie then walked to the gravesite.

Jim wanted to go to Cedar Rapids and visit the Museum of Fine Arts to see some Grant Woods paintings.  On the way we stopped and bought a thermometer and Jim’s temperature is ok.  We walked through the museum’s two floors and saw all the art. We drove to 3^rd Base Brewing and had a beer.  The brewer talked to us and gave us small glasses of another brewery’s beer.  When we got back home, Jim lay down and I sat outside and read.  There are some army men in camp working on some of the sites.  This is the first time we have seen army men actually working at camp in an Army Corps of Engineers campground.  In an hour I went in to see if he was OK.  I took his temperature and it was 99.8 degrees.  He took a couple of aspirins and came outside and sat.  I fixed dinner and we watched some TV.  Jim’s temperature was 100.2 degrees at 8:30 pm and it was101.5 degrees when we went to bed.
