Saturday 22nd August 2009...Left St Louis early and had a very easy 256 mile drive to Kansas City, which is actually in Missouri not Kansas (Der?)...Turned off at a random intersection and found a little town called Blackwater (see picture above) it had a single street, a railroad crossing and a station, it really was a one horse town...We had a gammon sandwich in the cafe then went to the western antique shop and had a great spend, I got my genuine 'sheriff of Dodge City' badge!! because we can't stop at the real one now on our way to Colorado...On to Kansas City which is totally empty, where is everybody, it resembles a ghost town. First on the list is our meal in the revolving restaurant on the 42nd floor.......WOW.....great food and a great view... Jon stayed in the restaurant to have a drink... He then got a taxi to downtown to have a few drinks... Met a few people and danced till about 3am...
Sunday 23rd August 2009...Jon is having a lie in so we are off for a spot of sightseeing. We found the war memorial and yet more fountains (apparently Kansas is the city of fountains) and Grand Central Station which is a great renovation and museum. Lunch at Fritz's where your food arrives on a little train and a little lift. I also got a train drivers hat (see photo).
So tonight its off to the sports bar for a giant pizza and beer then an early night before we get back on the road again.
