on the road again and homeward bound


I am writing this from Nickerson, Kansas. Nickerson is a teeny tiny little town smack in the middle of Kansas. I drove 9 hours today from St. Louis to get here, and I'm SO EXCITED to report that I'm staying with my sister, Lindsey, at a B&B called Hedricks.

This little B&B is home to a lot of animals including (in the order in which we've seen things so far today just driving in and walking around): camels, ostriches, llamas, zebras, chickens, peacocks, kangaroos, cows, horses, giraffes, bunnies, pidgeons, tortises, and capyrs. There may be other species around, we'll get the full tour in the morning. AND tomorrow I shall ride on a camel (in the middle of Kansas)!

I have to say, I am SO excited about this place. It is totally a dream for me to have something like this with a somewhat different assortment of critters, perhaps, but the camels are a MUST!

so this place has surprised me with its internet access, but it is slow, so I'll end here...maybe tomorrow night there'll be an update about the rest of the journey.
