Springfield, Missouri

Oh, you mean Missourah?

Yea, that state too.

Streets filled with restaurants, shops, nail salons, and OH MY GOSH! a real live mall!

And people were waving, chatting and oh so friendly.

AH!

Civilization.

Although I did not have a day off in Springfield I managed to go to the mall, eat at Thai Peppers (so good! but they don’t serve alcohol on Sundays–WARNING!– AND the picture on the website doesn’t look anything like the restaurant…hmmmm…), have yummy Greek Pasta at Zio’s and visit Ozark Gifts (one of those souvenior shops you follow for miles on the highway with big painted billboards that shout “WORTH STOPPIN’ FOR! and such, love it!).

Although it was a quick trip there is A LOT to do in Missouri.

The exact opposite from Manchester, IA.

Uhhhh. I needed that.

BeepBeep! I’m now in the land of the Blue Grass
