We woke to grey skies swiftly followed by a great deluge.
After a hearty breakfast...
.... We waved goodbye to the Ramada and set off to chose our car.
We had every intention of looking carefully at each hire car and deciding which best suited us but the rain was so bad that we paddled to the parking lot and chose the first one we saw - a jeep!
The drive up the Mississippi River was very scenic, very green and very wet. We stopped at a viewpoint but we couldn't see much.
Our lunch stop was at Hannibal, a small town on the river famous for being the boyhood home of Mark Twain aka Sam Clemens.
We spied a quilt shop.
A lovely quilt shop.
We bought a few bits and bobs.
Then wandered out in the rain to look at Mark Twain's boyhood home.
Lunch was at the excellent Java Jive.
Bursting with comfort and atmosphere.
This is a Picasso sourdough.
Onward to the Missouri star quilt company!
