Do you like the smell of adventure?!

Of course you do :) At the end of day one, we discovered some very exciting things...one being that Alexander sometimes reverts to the habits of his countrymen and drives on the wrong side of the road! Besides that tiny scare, the drive across Missouri was pretty uneventful. We are now up to "2" on the "dead animal in the road" count, and the smallest city award goes to Dewitt, Missouri, population 120 :) After finding our way to Gates Barbecue outside of Kansas City, sufficiently stuffing ourselves with barbecue (and covering our faces with it!), we toured around a practically empty Kansas City, eventually finding a lookout over the airport. From there we found our way to Topeka, and spent the night with a lovely girl named Kirsten! Woohoo for a soft place to lay our tired bodies down for the night :)
