Mississippi\u00a0river is the largest river flowing across the US. The people living around the river are lucky to enjoy the beauty of the river. The river takes a sharp turn at Le Claire to the west at the head of the rapids making the town an important place for river commerce.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday owing to the weather it was sultry, warm with cold breezes. If you are visiting Le Claire in the business hours, you can visit the museum and the shops there. My Sister&#8217;s Coffee shop offers variety of coffee flavors. If you visit Le Claire after business hours, you can just enjoy the riverside beauty and come back.<\/p>\n<p>The walk along the river side and the boating decks are good time pass. It is fun to watch the birds and listen to the flowing water. Being summer you can see many boats racing in the river. I think a boat is a must for people living around the\u00a0Mississippi\u00a0river! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>The Tug Fest and Cruises are some of the popular events of the town. The <a title=\"Riverboat Twilight\" href=\"http:\/\/www.riverboattwilight.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Riverboat Twilight<\/a> offers a two-day cruise from Le Claire to Dubuque and back. The serenity by the river and the greenery make a Le Claire worth visiting at least a year, in fall as well as in summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer weekend can be utilized to maximum potential by exploring surrounding cities of Quad cities.
