Kansas City Trip - Saturday, November 3, 2012

After breakfast at the Crown Center, we started our day at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.  It is a free art museum that is well worth the time. There is a great variety of art including the work of some great artists (Monet, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Rembrandt  etc.) and an interesting sculpture garden outside.

Below is a sculpture Paul enjoyed and a unique painting I spent some time writing about.

General Assembly by Pierre Alechinsky

From there, we stopped at a local park on the Missouri River and watched a train go by.  Kansas city has trains constantly running through it.  Most of the tracks go under/over roads because they are so well used, automobile traffic would never get through.

We finished the day at Manny's Restaurante Mexicana just a short walk from the hotel.  The place was busy, the food was good (Paul loved his burrito, my enchiladas weren't quite as good), and the margarita was one of the best I had.
