I travel the country on business, sometimes the world. Come see where I've been. |
Date: Week of March 20th Locale: Kansas City, Missouri This week finds me in Kansas City, Missouri. The customer is a radio support shop here that needed a bit of training. A Co-worker joined me here so he could learn the courses I'm delivering. That's a good thing, these two courses are short (2 days), and I'm about the only one who does them. One other does one of them, but I end up delivering most of them. I drove here, my route taking me south through St. Louis, then west on I-70. As I've said many times in the past, I'm much rather drive than fly. Have recently been thinking of getting a motor home RV. I could drive to most locations, wouldn't need a hotel, and my gas expenses would be covered. One of my biggest questions then would be, what would I use for a mailing address? Historic/Interesting Places Visited: It was an excellent week, and I did find one place that many should visit. Of course, being a memorial to a war that ended about 100 years ago, many have no desire to remember or honor it. I wonder how many of you who read this know what started the war (Originally called 'The Great War', until the onset of WW II)? How many know how long the U.S. was in it, and why we entered it? I didn't have near enough time to spend there, would need about a half day to satisfy my curiosity and thirst for knowledge. https://www.theworldwar.org/?gclid=COTMu6CkiNMCFZe6wAodTcsG2Q Of course, visiting a place like this wouldn't be complete without a photo, would it? I just wish I could take photos with the camera held straight. It seems like most of my photos slant one way or another. Noteworthy Restaurants: LC's BBQ. 5800 Blue Pkwy, Kansas City, MO 64129 There isn't a website for this place, but if you enjoy good BBQ, this place is a must! The travel channel has been there twice, I can see why now. It's a hole in the wall type place, but you will love it. Beignet http://www.beignetkc.com/ I know, Kansas City is renowned for it's BBQ and beef. So why would I visit a place like this, that serves Cajun entrees? Simple, I love Cajun food! Excellent food, their Boudin Balls were very good, though the Etoufee could have used more rice if you ask me. Still, over all excellent food! Til next time, enjoy the spring! Right now it's April 3rd, and I'm off to Lansing Michigan for a second time in less than a month. Til next time.... |
