From Magical Missouri to Leoti, KS

Before heading to Colorado, we had to do two things in Kansas. First, we went to Lawrence and kicked it with Hilary’s advisor and fellow graduate students. We are barbeque, sweet potato fries, and drank some beer. It was great. Cristin housed and fed us well, and Shimantini and Dimitra were delightful!

With Lawrence behind us, we headed west to Leoti (pronounced Lee-oh-tah, kind of like Yoda), KS to see Hilary’s grandmother and uncle/family. We hung out, ate some key lime pie, introduced my grandmother to Skype, rode a merry-go-round, and drove on some beautiful Kansas back-highways. Every time we got off the interstate, Kansas becomes beautiful. Don’t trust what you see from I-70.
