We’ve been blessed already on this trip…during the days and into the nights to observe the changing landscape around us…and we’ve some amazing sights.
We’ve walked in Mammoth Cave…
sat under St. Louis’s arch of note…
We’ve cruised down the Mississippi in an old fashioned riverboat.
We walked through a sculpture garden in Iowa…sculptures made of metal and steel and wood…
We paused on a volcano in Nebraska…where Lewis and Clark once stood.
We’ve toured the Badlands and the Black Hills of South Dakota…
we’ve walked with Dignity…
we stood at the base of Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse…and thought about Wounded Knee.
But one thing I failed to mention…which we try to do at every stop…
We search for an independent bookstore…and a local donut shop.
With the wonder and beauty of our country and her people…everywhere we look….
It’s also nice to appreciate…a fresh donut…and a good book.
Okay we don’t always buy a book…but more often than not…we do…
and we never leave without eating a donut…sometimes we have two.
In Rapid City, South Dakota the latest place we stopped
we found a beautiful old bookstore…and a wonderful donut shop.
We did end up buying a book…from a diverse collection…an exciting and impressive mix…
And we did buy a couple of donuts…okay…we might have purchased six.
And so we’re back on the road…wondering what next astonishing sights will cause our jaws to drop….while always on the lookout…for bookstores and donut shops.
