I woke up on Day 4 (8/18)
feeling much better. I think I had a touch of food poisoning
from some fried mushrooms. It is so challenging to eat vegan in small towns. But it was so nice knowing my Airbnb host was here if I needed anything.
The coffee shop for today was the farmers market where a local coffee roasters has a booth. I had a cold brewed iced coffee that was actually amazing. There was a Mississippi river cruise ship docked down town. People were exploring the city before heading down stream again. That would be an interesting trip!
I then took a quick trip to Lover's leap for the view of Hannibal and the river
Then a little way down the road to the Cave Hollow West Winery. There are caves that you can explore and other things to do, but I found myself sitting here on their patio reading and drinking a glass of their Mark Twain Reserve wine. I bought a bottle to share with my Airbnb host and fellow travelers.
A little more exploring the area, but honestly I just wasn't feeling it. I eventually went back to my room for yet another nap. I'm not sure why I'm sleeping so much...I beginning to think that I've been very tired for a very long time. That's the only explanation for 2 hour naps and then sleeping 8 - 10 hours each night.
LaBinnah (Hannibal spelled backwards) Bistro for dinner. Front 2 rooms of a Victorian home. Feel lucky that I got right in...it's very small. And of course very few vegan options. Mediterranean appetizer sampler it is. Such a small space that it's hard to not overhear all the conversions. Which is funny considering the David Sedaris book of overheard conversations, among other things, that I'm reading, Theft by Finding. He kept a journal of random overheard comments, etc. Maybe I need to do that too.
After dinner I went back down to the river front where lots of people were hanging out for no particular reason. Then back to my Airbnb to enjoy that bottle of wine with my host - she is just an amazing person and has traveled solo for many years and has just moved back to her home town. This has been such a great place to stay.

Tomorrow
is my last day here...I need to pack my car and organize all the
stuff. I SO over packed!! I think by the time I get home
I'll be ready to be a true minimalist...can I get 6 weeks worth in a
back pack?
This morning was lovely. My host, Alyssa and another guest, Barbara and I sat outside drinking coffee and chatting about nothing and everything. They are both such interesting people and it was a great conversation.This is why I think I want to explore using Airbnb's instead of an RV. More people to chat with.
I'm off to conquer today!
