Distance: 0 Miles
These three days were spent enjoying Kansas City. I visited the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. These are some of the works that captured my fancy.
Later in the day, I returned to Country Club Plaza. Kansas City has between hundreds and thousands of fountains. No one is quite sure.
I saw a special screening of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
The theater was packed. Peter Jackson said nice things to us. It was three plus hours. It was grand. I went back my room for the night, and snapped a fountain of Poseidon.
The next day, I visited the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art.

I was struck by this landscape. The scale and scope of this landscape exists in this painting.
I watched movies in the evening and kicked around for the next days. Pictures of Country Club Plaza, which was the first shopping mall designed to expressly accommodate automobiles; all the buildings are built employing stucco and Spanish tile.
