So tranquil was the morning of Friday, May 26th that we met for our daily breakfast around 10:30 AM. It was a delightful morning as we acquired an additional two hours of sleep, so heavily desired after the extensive day that was yesterday. Dianne and Stacy prepared, once again, a delightful meal consisting of breakfast burritos and fruit medley.

After breakfast, we dedicated the remainder of the morning and the beginning of the afternoon to resting and working on our blogs and final projects. It was lovely, to take a moment of rest to reflect on our experiences so far in Iowa.

At 2:00 AM, we ended our relaxation and traveled to POET Ethanol Plant. There we met with Kevin Monroe who gave us a presentation on the process of conducting corn to energy and ethanol as well as the history of the plant.
