Saint Louis
We left Kansas City early for St. Louis where we could visit with cousins. It is really nice to be with family after so long a time. Maria and Norman were great hosts, wining and dining us and giving me a beauty treatment at the office. Maria took us to the MO Botanical Gardens. This is a beautiful place with a Climatron Building (with regulated climates inside) a beautiful herb garden, a Japanese garden enormous koi in the pond, and overall beautiful flowers and scenes. I love the feel of St. Louis.
My cousin Susan says that she loves to follow our adventures on the blog even though we are seeing "lots of places that she would never want to see." That is the thing with driving across the country. You have to go through all the places between two points that you want to see. We try to find something to visit or appreciate in each town but the fact is that some places are not meaningful to us. Maybe some people love these little places. Maybe it is like the food. I have said how I am always surprised that you can't find any decent restaurant in these backwater towns but you can find good food in the most modest restaurant in the big city or a resort town. Maybe the reason is that the people who live in the backwater towns really love the bad food that they are served.
