Iowa is a state in the Midwest of the United States of America. It has been listed as one of the safest states to live in and often referred to as the "American Heartland." Soya bean, corn and hog farms are plentiful and the local cuisine reflects this. Pork chops and pork BBQ, corn-on-the-cob and casseroles are standard offerings in rich serving sizes. Vineyards spread throughout the state produce their own quality wines.
Iowa's economy, culture, and landscape are diverse. The majority of the state is rural, mostly farmlands, yet the cities like Iowa's capital and largest city, Des Moines, have a very metropolitan feel.
There is plenty to do and see in Iowa from the 23 karat gold-leaf dome of the Capitol Building in Des Moines to the Science Center of Iowa. Des Moines holds daily jazz concerts in July and the National Balloon Classic is held in Indianola. For the more romantic traveler, there are the covered bridges of Madison County.
