Today we left for Parkville. Prior to our departure we ate Mexican food, which was great and yet again, I (Candice) was overwhelmed by the size of the portions. As I was not that hungry, I ordered a salad, however to my suprise, the salad was so huge that I could have fed the entire team and the entire purpose of ordering somehting 'light' was defeated. I still enjoyed it though.
We went to the Museum of the Steamboat Arabia, which is situated at the City Market Area in Kansas City. This museum was wonderful, as it houses and displays various items that were on the Steamboat, which sunk about 132 years ago in the Missouri river and which were dug-up in the late 1980's. We later met up with our host families, who drove us off to their homes, to get us settled in.
Later in the evening, we attended a 'Welcome picnic' that was hosted by the Parkville Rotary club at the beautiful Weatherly lake and we were also very fortunate to go on a boat cruise around the lake. The Rotarians as well as the guests gave us a very warm welcome and made sure that we experienced another variation of a very delicious American barbeque.
