Kansas City, MO

We arrived in Kansas City late Tuesday afternoon after an uneventful flight except for one guy across the aisle who had his shoes and socks off and his leg up on his knee, showing us his ugly toes; and an annoying man who did not turn off his cellphonetexter as per orders before takeoff, and who later asked for a third cookie (they generously give two freebies) just to annoy us. File him under "schnorrer," a Yiddish term that means what it sounds like.

Our hotel is in a different part of town from where we stayed two years ago, and that really changes your orientation and perspective on things. We discovered a great new district just over the railroad tracks by Union Station. What was formerly a freight loading district now has condos, lofys, galleries, and restaurants--We ate at Lidia's, you know the famous chef....and the food was terrific. And last night we had BBQ. Also very good. But we need greens!

More to follow...I hope.

Ooo, Lidia's! Everything she makes on TV always looks delicious. I hope you guys have a nice KC -- and you find some veggies somewhere.

Oh, and I hope Kevin has better bathroom experiences than in Nashville!
