Checking out the City Market
One thing I really like about Kansas City is the City Market. Here you can buy your weight in fresh vegetables from various local farmers and private growers. It has always been a good time walking around the market square and browse what everyone is selling. No doubt there will be street performers around too.
Today’s plan is to check out the Steamboat Arabia Museum, which is a boat that was recovered years ago that sunk in the Missouri River in 1856. A group of treasure hunters researched and thought they knew where the boat was. Rivers change their course over time, just like small rivers. After the river changed course, the boat was buried for a hundred years but a group headed an excavation based on their calculations, and found the boat something like 40 feet down, with all of its cargo intact. So now these are on display at the museum.
Juri has been wanting to see this for a while now. Off we go!
