We got out of Topeka as quickly as we could. The hotel managed to be efficient in exclusively one way – clearing away breakfast. We got there at 9:03 and there wasn’t even coffee. Anyway, we\u00a0got on the road and checked out a small town in Kansas called Tonganoxie<\/a> based on the fact that it had a really excellent name. It was extremely hot, but the people were also extremely nice, and we had a good chat with some people in a local bar restaurant type thing. We spoke with a man who told us the history of the town and ended up giving us two large framed photographs of the place General Lee<\/a> was imprisoned after the Civil War. We also met an old man of Welsh descent who sounded like his family came from a similar part of Wales to Chris’s grandmother.<\/p>\n
