We went back to Abilene to visit the Eisenhower Presidential Library. The Presidential Libraries have devised their own passport, but I am not pursuing it even though Judy and I have been to all but two of them. It is very well done and took us two hours to tour. We have been to places connected to Churchill, Truman and Eisenhower this week. Their stories relate to much of the history of the first six decades of the 20th Century. They do remind us that things have felt like they were falling apart many times in the past. This afternoon we had a great time at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History in Hays, Kansas. They have fine exhibits - especially the ones on fossils and prehistoric animals. Kansas was once covered with a vast sea, and the fossil record of that time is available in several chalk quarries. Not liking the weather forecast we are in a motel in Wakeeney, KS. This is a bit like parts of Maine - not the end of the world, but you can see it from here. Their lawns make Hampton East lawns look lush and proper.
