Dad woke us up early as usual, at 7. We ate the "continental" (donut
and coffee) breakfast and left for another long day of driving. We
drove until we reached Kentucky Fried Chicken. That's where I finally
realized we were actually in Missouri. The people looked like something
straight out of What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Then we continued driving
till we reached The Fantastic Caverns. It was really nice inside the
cave. All the broken stallagmites made me think about how fragile
nature really is. How we shouldn't abuse the beauty we take for granted
so often. After that, we checked into our hotel, The Best Western.
