Friday night at about 11PM in Columbia, MO...

Had a pleasant flight to St. Louis...here's a picture a little way out of Newark...

We picked up our rental car at the airport and headed to Columbia...about 90 miles but a straight shot on IS70-W...

Seen along the way...
A billboard for cage fighting
AmeriStar Casino
"Warehouse of Dinettes"
Lots of pawn shops
"Ethyl's" BBQ
Tic-Toc Shop (guess what they sold)
Super 8s (and Super 7s)
Billboard for "Dentures in 1 Day $99"
"Larry's Boots 10,000 Pairs" (really?)
Signs for the Churchill Museum (what was Winston Churchill's relationship to Missouri?)

Got to the Marriott Courtyard in Columbia at about 8:30 CT...comfy room...dropped off our bags and Elsie picked us up (her apartment is close by). So good to see Little E! We had dinner (and drinks) at Houlihans and Elsie took the scenic route back to the hotel.

Good night!
