The laptop I purchased especially for this trip turned out to be a crippled one. So there will be no pictures made by me (Dink) until I get home. Uploading them with this computer is a mission impossible. Yesterday morning, after a perfect stay at the Boots Court Motel (strongly recommended if you want to … Continue reading
Day 6 – Cuba MO to Carthage MO
