Pics Homeward Bound

We have stopped for the night in Kansas, about 70 miles from the Colorado border. We couldn't take driving in this state for another moment - we gladly pulled over when we saw a sign for a cheap hotel with free breakfast. I can't believe 4 weeks have passed already! We finally are totally relaxed and enjoying the feeling of freedom. We are learning Spanish with flashcards in the car - reading a ton, sleeping in, staying up past 10 pm, and enjoying thinking creatively about future projects. Even though we haven't climbed, biked or moved our muscles as much as we had hoped, I am still, as always in love with the free life. I am working on the road a bit - but it barely even feels like work when I do it.

After leaving Ct - we hauled the 700 miles back to his house, for a final visit with his family. Both of his brothers and their girlfriends rolled in - and we had a blast sitting around, and having various stair jumping contests. Gregg is a fantastic jumper, as it were.

On a tip from a friend of a friend in Chicago - We hit up the City Museum in St. Louis. ANYONE TRAVELING THROUGH NEEDS TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT. The City Museum is a 600,000 sq foot jungle gym for adults created into an old shoe company in St. Louis. It is 5 or 6 stories of playground created entirely from found objects within the St Louis municipal boundaries. There is a huge ball pit - abandoned planes, caves, tunnels, huge slides and things to climb on, around and down. The interior is designed with phenomenal mosaic work that wowed me at every turn. And, the final selling factor - it was open until 1 am!

See the site - and visit if you are near - it is worth it.
