Missouri

I made it to MO
 I am trying  to type on my Kindle.  Slow going, so I will be short today.  The train was fairly empty and quiet and I didn't have to scream for service.  People were very solicitous toward me but not condescending. They gave me a little tram ride in St. Louis when I had to change trains. It was like being at the zoo, but with trains instead of animals, and no on told us to keep our hands and feet inside the ride at all times!  The train is great, but that's all you do for the day.
It is a little odd to be here without the rest of my family.  I'm sure it would be even more strange to be in my childhood home.  Actually, I will be in my childhood home since my old house, the parsonage in Jefferson City is now a thrift store! Do you know how weird it is to see someone selling used video games out of your old bedroom?
I am looking forward to visiting old haunts, but I have to pace myself so I don' t lose my legs too soon.  That's why we plan to visit Central Dairy (the best ice  cream parlor in the world) as our resting ground!
I' 'll keep you posted!
