We arrived at almost midnight in Kansas City from Chicago on our first of many legs of our train trip. The trip went well, though we sat for an hour somewhere in Missouri in the dark to pick up an extra dining car.
We kicked off the trip in Chicago with wonderful hospitality from the Rev. Geoffrey Ward, who welcomed us with Chicago deep dish pizza, a performance of Cirque Sanghai, and a wonderful Italian dinner. July 2 we crawled out of town with a visit to Taste of Chicago for Chicago-style hot dogs and some good tacos. My heart bypass surgery is pending.
The kids commented that that had never seen so much open farm land from Chicago to Kansas City. The corn is about 2 feet high.
Today is it raining in K.C., but we'll hang out. Our first sleeper car is tonight. On to Sante Fe!
