I was sent to Neosho, Missouri for work in November/December '07 for two weeks. I had more fun there than I would have thought, but I was still glad to leave! I got to take a few days to drive up to St. Louis and then to Hannibal, the town where Mark Twain grew up and where he got much of the inspiration for Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn from. In St. Louis, mostly the photos I got were of the Gateway Arch, so be ready to get overarched. It's a good thing it looks different in different kinds of light and from different angles. It's pretty much the only interesting thing to look at there, though it did seem like a fun city and I wouldn't have minded another day or two to look around in. Oh well, maybe next time. For the full hot aired regaling of my trip, read this.
