Went and saw the Niña and Pinta yesterday [View all]

The replicas of the Niña and Pinta built by Brazilian shipbuilders are up in Dubuque this week. I got it in my head that they were going to leave yesterday so I went and seen the two ships. (They're here until next Sunday). Here's a few pictures I took.
