Rolling out of the soft sheets and warm comforter was not easy, but I think the radio alarm helped. Rubbing my eyes, first thing I did this morning was to reach out for the window. I wanted to see how the day dawns on the snow covered city. Waking up in downtown has its own charm for me – I feel like one lucky calm and rested soul amidst a wild hastening world. The sight from my window was good enough to kick start my day. And I topped it with a hearty breakfast. The morning couldn’t have been any better.
By now, I knew I was in Missouri part of Kansas city – which everyone said was prettier than the Kansas part. Little did I know, a fun adventure lied ahead of me. The minute I stepped out of the door, I felt the chilly wind trying to turn me into ice (that being said, it reminds me of the story where anything the guy touched turned to gold lol). Getting out of the bed wasn’t the hardest thing I had to do this morning.
Just for the record – it’s not easy to walk three blocks in direction opposite to the wind’s, on slippery road, in a skirt and high heels! Only my fellow pretty ladies know what I am talking about. For a second I thought I lost my ears.
If nothing more, I at least deserve a silver star for this!
The whole day went by fast. Had lunch at a Mongolian Barbecue (Genghis Kahn)… I don’t understand the concept of this place. They tell you to stack all the ingredients in a bowl and then they grill it for you. Sounds interesting when you first hear it, but don’t different foods have different cooking time? Result: some of the stuff was over cooked. But meh… it was alright!
Later in the evening, I decided to explore downtown. It’s actually pretty neat; plenty of nice restaurants, lounges, taverns, coffee shops, hotels, skyscrapers, and how can I forget the Sprint Center. I made a quick stop at a grocery store. It was pretty neat actually – open salad bar, Gelato, little cheese place etc. I found treasure in that store – gloves! No more frost bites!
I promise I will post pictures soon. For now, here are some off of the World Wide Web :)
