Road Trip

Each year my good friend Vince and I take a road trip. We have done this for a long time and look forward to it. We both enjoy trains and usually our travels take us where trains are or were. Thi year it is south with a destination of Wood River, Illinois. It is a small industrial town accross the river from St Louis. (Mississippi River, for the geographically challenged) We will spend a few days to get there and a few more days to get home. We will see sights. We will see trains. We will talk. We will smoke cigars. but mostly we will revel in the fact that we have been friends for about 48 years. We only see each other a couple of times a year but the conversation starts up right where it left off. I hope you have a friend like Vince.
