Ted & Todd's Trek to Texas #1

Ted arrived this morning at 8 and we were out the door by 8:20. Heading down the highway to Findlay, Dayton, and beyond, we passed through Indianapolis and I got to see the site where yesterday my Steelers shocked the Colts despite their best efforts to go home early.

Oddest moment: At a rest area in Illinois, a man who apparently worked there (he was emptying the trash) was carrying on an animated conversation including vehement hand gestures with himself. At first I wondered if he had a cell phone or headset, but, no, he was entirely without electronics.

Best surprise: On the west side of St. Louis we stopped at the Laurimie (sp?) Sculpture Garden. Both Ted and I thought it would be a nice, small park with a few pieces. Instead, we were met with a very large park filled with numerous large works by well-reknown artists. We spent an hour strolling the grounds before darkness fell.
