What a great day!!

Firstly, on behalf of the Tourist team mates, who absolutely love to take photos, I wish to add the following pictures from the Conference, which took place over the past weekend.




GSE team with future RI president Mr. Ray Kliningsmith.



More about today- Most of the people around here have told us "If you don't like the weather, just hold on for a while because it will certainly change soon". That is indeed what we experienced today, Missouri weather, in its full glory. It was a bit cool today (and hopefully that is not an understatement). Back to the reason why this day was so great- If you have have never visited great Museums and been surrounded by the hospitality of the people of Missouri, then "You ain't seen nothing yet". We visited four museums, namely; the St Joseph Nature Centre (and also saw the beautiful park of St Joseph), the Pony Express Museum, the Jesse James Museum and the Psychiatric Museum. We learnt alot about St Joseph and I am sure that we probaly hold a record for the amount of knowledge that we gained in one day. We also visited the Missouri Western State University, what a great experience it was to see this institution. Yssel, Anelize and Euridice even had the opportunity of holding a snake at the University, I supported them from a distance and had 911 on speed-dial in case one of them fainted from excitement. We ended the day off with dinner at the home of Carlos and Carol Moya, who wonderfully hosted the GSE team, host families, rotarians and friends. The food was great and so was the company.
