The day is finally here. After all the plotting, planning and emotional goodbyes the day has finally arrived when I can officially say I'm a gypsy.
I left my place around 11:00 and 30 minutes later my low tire pressure sensor went off. Great! Considering that I'd had my oil changed and tires rotated just 2 days before I assumed I had a real problem. I found a tire store and the issue was just inconsistent tire pressure among the 4 tires. Awesome! Back on the road to experience periodic torrential rain. I've decided that rain on day one is a good omen because it represents a fresh start as I head out on my adventures. This is my adventure I get to make up crap like that. :)
The first coffee shop of my tour was the Funky Buffalo in Camdenton, Missouri. It's a home that has been converted into a pretty chill coffee house. Not quite as funky as I'd hoped for, but there was a buffalo---a stuffed one over the fireplace. Coconut milk latte was as expected.
On to Hannibal and dinner at a bar and grill - nothing to brag about - and then to my Airbnb. I was a little hesitant when I walked up to the 1900's home to see the windows and front door open. No Air Conditioning! What!! Did I mention it's August! The owner had turned the AC off because it had been cooler...after the rains and humidity she was turning it back on. AND each bedroom has a window air conditioning unit. Sigh of relief!
I think the fresh flowers on the ledge outside my window are a very nice touch. Not sure what tomorrow brings...but I'll decide that tomorrow.
