A Learning Experience

Things I've learned since moving to Alton:

• Illinois drivers are much better than Atlantan drivers
• The tallest man in the world, Mr. Robert Wadlow, was indeed VERY tall - I sat in his chair
• The Piasa bird is really interesting and a BIG deal around these parts
• The River Road is gorgeous - gotta love those bluffs
• It is very possible to get lost on the way from Alton to St. Louis
• Main Street has a cappuccino machine...and that is awesome
• There are way more historical things that happened in Alton than one would think
• The area of Alton that I live in is called "Pietown"
• Happily, we found a Jimmy Johns here...delicious
• The Tropical Sno down the street from my house is just as fantastic as the ones I had when I was a kid
• Encounter is great
• I am fascinated to live in a river town
• Miles Davis was born here - hello, that is awesome!
• And Illinois rocks so much harder than Georgia
