Tour West: Day 3

We awoke to rain pelting our every move. We tried to take a look at the Gateway Arch but got very little for our trouble. Our plans of walking downtown and eating breakfast were splashed on. Finally we headed for Kansas City hoping to out run the rain. It got worse. No sight seeing in Kansas City. We headed for Wichita, KS where my uncle lives.
South of Kansas City we encounted a change in the landscape. This place had a errie beauty. My uncle called the area ADD* We arrived in the late afternoon. The rain had stopped. We found my uncle's house with the GPS, though we ran around in circles for a time before I realized that maybe the address was wrong. Right. I had transposed the street number. We arrived safe and sound. Good conversation. Good sleep. No rain to make music on the rooftops.
