AROUND TOWN

In Hannibal, Missouri, we did a little shopping. This is also where I do the traditional "fall down on vacation" routine. Yes, I skinned my knee as I do on every trip I ever take. The other members of our tour finally are warming up to each other. I tried to find out where Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer lived, but someone told me they were just make believe. Can you believe that?

This is the river boat dinner cruise we took down the Misissippi.


This is the general store. The pharmacy was in a lady's home. She'd mix up your medicine from the herbs growing in her garden. A lot of the restored homes are Bed & Breakfast hotels.

We went to the Mark Twain museum while we were in Hanibal and saw Tom and Huck's place! Didn't you? Did you walk up the stairs to the lighthouse? There are so many steps!
