Day 2

Another successful travel day under our belts.  We are now relaxing in Sikeston, Missouri.

Pretty room - Not as big as yesterday

We drove through 3 states today - Indiana, Illinois and Missouri.  We also crossed the Mississippi River.  Six hundred and fifty kms in total.  This seems a good number for us.  We cover some ground but it doesn't take so long that Wayne is crippled up.

With the time changes (end of daylight savings and we are now in the Central Time Zone), we arrived at about 1pm.  Two hours ahead of our ideal stopping time.  Just as well though......

Because we had lunch at Lambert's Cafe - Home of the Throwed Rolls.  Sunday afternoon is not the optimal time to dine here.  When we signed in with the hostess, there were 60 tables ahead of us.  The wait was about 45 minutes.  We wouldn't have stayed if we lived here.  But because we are just passing through and knew how unique and fun the restaurant is, we waited.

 I order smoked pork loin with cornbread stuffing, baked beans and corn.  Can you see my flat roll to the right?  The waiters throw the rolls at you from across the room.  I was afraid of dropping mine, so I clutched it a little too tightly.  I had more of a pancake than a roll. lol
