Library Director and I have been off exploring Kansas the past few days. Most of day one was spent in Kansas City, where we saw the Princess Diana Exhibit at Union Station, had high tea there, and then took the Hallmark Cards tour. The most exciting part of the day, however, was trying to get out of downtown KC. Our astute driver, Ms. LD, was quite confident she knew how to wrangle the busy streets and make it to the Interstate. "I used to live here," she said confidently. In another lifetime, maybe. It didn't help that street work and detours impeded the way out. As well as some other drivers who have never heard of the word "merge" before. After 45 minutes of driving dizzily in various circles, we finally made it out of the maze and on to Topeka for the night. This morning we headed to Wamego, a nifty little town near Manhattan. There we toured the Wizard of Oz museum, a restored theater, and the county museum. The Oz visit was super. Library Director and I are great fans of the movie (both of us have often been mistaken for the Wicked Witch of the West), so we had great fun taking pictures and singing along with the background music during this sentimental journey. "Ha-ha-ha. Ho-ho-ho. And a couple of tra-la-las." ---That's exactly how we laughed the day away in the merry old land of Oz.
