A Fun Adventure

Recently, i got the opportunity to visit Hannibal, Missouri. Naturally, i'd think "what's so special about a tiny town?" but after reading "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" the town has a lot more meaning. Hannibal, Missouri is the small town in which Samuel Langhorne Clemens (Mark Twain) was raised. It later became the setting for his famous books "Tom Sawyer" and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". I got to visit on my way back from Chicago a few months ago. It was a cold and rainy day so we didn't get to do much. The first place we went to was a little coffee shop attached to a kitchen shop. I was a cute little place! It was easy to tell it was a small town, because everyone in the coffee shop knew eachother and it seemed like they were regulars! After getting coffee, we walked across the street to a museum about Mark Twain, but we were running short on time so we just looked through the gift shop. We also drove down to the river...That was one of the neatest things! They had a boat that takes people on rides, but obviously, since it was January, it was not open. Even though we didn't get to do much, it was still a great experience and fun to see the little town i have read about! Of course, before we left, i made sure to get a picture with the stature of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer! :)
