I'll still try to capture as much of the city's flavor as I can and you can tell me if its what you imagined.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542715899155247984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23683658.post-65892506066398403522007-12-14T05:44:00.000-05:002007-12-14T05:44:00.000-05:00There are always places that we would like to visi...There are always places that we would like to visit...some because of the name or some for the history, like Hannibal MO. <BR/><BR/>About a dozen years ago there was an annular eclipse of the sun. We were living several hours north of the path of total annularity but Hannibal was right in the middle of it. I took a day off of work, we packed up the kids and did all of the Mark Twain things while keeping an eye on the sun.<BR/><BR/>A couple of years later, Aaron and I were passing through Hannibal on our way back from a Cardinals' baseball game and he asked if we could stop for lunch at the place where they make their own root beer. It's funny what kids remember about a place. It was a much better experience than your glimpse of Amarillo.John A Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777330742400065045noreply@blogger.com
