On our first day of vacation, we enjoyed an easy drive on smooth, uncrowded roads. We took Nebraska Highway 2 to Nebraska City, 1-29 to St. Joseph, Missouri, then Hwy 36 to Hannibal. This is family farm country, and the pastoral scenes and fresh, sweet-smelling air soothed our senses. We saw grain pouring like a thick ribbon of liquid gold--which it sort of is--from a silo into a truck. Herds of grazing cattle, hillsides sprinkled with sheep, pastures dotted with horses, and brightly painted harvesting machines made peaceful, colorful compositions through our windows.
We're delighted with our room at the Dubach Inn, and relished an excellent supper at the bistro two doors down from here. We watched a movie in our private sitting room and slept soundly in a dark, quiet room on a comfortable bed. After enjoying good coffee for an hour in our room, our breakfast in the dining room was sensational. Kristine served a fruit crepe (pictured) with cinnamon scones, followed by an egg soufle and spicy turkey loaf. She got the guests talking, and made us feel comfortable by telling us her story.
This was our first night in a bed and breakfast, and so far, the experience is exceeding our expectations.
