After meeting up with mother last night, we headed on to Wichita and the Wichita Art Museum. They had an interesting exhibit on Meso-American civilizations, however since they only allowed sketches (And I am no Picasso) no pictures from the museum. After that we tried to add me as an authorized driver on her rental car, however due to the bass-ackward practices of Dollar rental car, it would have been cheaper to rent an entirely new car for me than to add me to the exhisting contract. After that we decided to head closer to the trail and for us that meant Hutchinson, KS. We decided to go see a movie, ironically, this movie is about a blogger named Julie. She works her way through Julia Childs' cookbook and in the process improved her life. Watching the movie inspired me to finish this journey of which I am halfway through. Tomorrow I am trying to push some extreme miles, so we shall see how it goes. Until then...
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,

Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

Enjoy this time with your mother. Over time you will appreciate how her love has shaped your life. Maybe she can expierience the dew, the clover and the butterflies along your route. Don't you forget to enjoy those things too. Glad you took a culture break today.
Good luck tomorrow and lets see how many miles you can push without those bags. Text me know your target cities in the morning.
