Out On The Road
25 Jul 2021 - Steve NelsonA full day of driving brings us to Keokuk, IA.
Lot’s of screen time for Camilla today again as we travelled in six states in one day (and Tennessee twice)! [TN, GA, TN, KY, IL, MO, IA].
In Peducah, we ate lunch in a quiet cemetary next to a subway (again with the lobby closed due to staff shortages). We were suprised by how short some of the lives seemed as listed on the headstones. Like the French brothers who died in 1962 at 21 and 27 years old, and all the people who died after only 30-70 years.
Driving through the country we see lots of beautiful scenic areas, but, it’s hard to take pictures from the car. Here’s one from our stop in Peducah.
We have a non-binding agreement that we will stop at the St. Louis arch or somewhere with a good view of it on our way back south. Camilla may have seen it as we drove by quickly. We may also stop in Hannibal to see Mark Twain on our drive south, too.
Eventually, we arrived in Keokuk (again, too late to swim). Maybe someday.
She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.
