Michèle came to visit for a week and the first place we went to was Kansas City! I was told that there was a nice view from the Liberty Memorial on the city skyline so we had to go check it out...
Liberty Memorial
Also I had read that Kansas City is home to a very special building...made of books!
Its actually the parking lot of the Public Library...
Public Library front door, massive!
Close to the library, there is another monument that is easy to miss since it surrounded by huge buildings : a massive bronze eagle statue (built in 1890):
Kansas City is full of surprises, on one side it can seem like a deserted town, and then you turn around and there is a colorful wall painting or a lively district...
Country Club Plaza is a more recent part of town build in a Spanish style :
and of course to finish the day, the famous Kansas City BBQ (with the cousins) was a must!
By the way, did you know Kansas City is not in Kansas but in Missouri??!! (at least most of the city including downtown)
