We started our morning with another good, home-cooked meal. (You really appreciated that when you have been on the road for two weeks.) Then it was a tour of the chicken hatchery. Erin really likes all kinds of animals--she wanted to touch some of the baby chicks, but their mamas were not going to allow it. We also saw same eggs with chicks ready to hatch--we looked at them with a "candle light"--which allows you to see inside the shell. A couple were moving around in it.
Then it was time for a bike ride along the Katy Trail. This is a trail where Lewis and Clark went along the river. It was a very enjoyable 8 mile ride--lots of green trees and mosquitos! (We were fine as long as we kept moving--we were too fast for the mosquitos!) Thank you Sandy and Bruce for the hospitality!
Then it was time to travel to Hannibal, home of Mark Twain. We arrived in late afternoon, and did a little exploring of the town. We went on the Mark Twain Riverboat dinner cruise. It was fun to eat,
and enjoy the scenery, while going up and down the Mississippi River. Tomorrow is more Tom Sawyer things.
