St. Louis to Hays, KS

I had breakfast with Judye and then she wrote out directions to get to the Interstate to head west.  This time, I had no difficulty.  I put on my audiobook - Anne of Green Gables - and just drove.  Kansas City was a pain, but after that the traffic let up and there was mostly just the open road - and the wind.  I ate lunch at a truck stop - which was actually fairly healthy.  I was getting very tired and hungry as it was getting dark, though, so I decided to stop in Hays, KS, for the night.  It was a good choice.  There were lots of hotels there (I chose the Hampton Inn) and an Applebee's, which I like.  A good dinner - some playing on the computer, email and Facebook, and I was ready for bed.

My feet by this time were pretty swollen.  I had gotten a lot of bruises when we were loading the truck and there isn't a lot of room in the truck to move my legs around, so I was glad to be able to stretch out and get some circulation going.
