Hello and almost bye from Kansas City !!! 4 hrs until I leave for airport to start my 30 hour journey for home.
This is my second time visiting Kansas city , both times for work.
Interesting fact about Kansas city is it lies between two states -Missouri and Kansas. I go to work and stay in different cities :)
I couldn't have asked for a better weather to visit...my cold weather loving body enjoyed it so much.
I got to see a blizzard with snow, super hot sunny days, winds upto 50mph and rain..all in 12 days. And its snowing as I write the blog.
This time I got to do one of my most favourite things - attend a craft meetup at a local craft cafe when travelling to a new country. I have done that before twice in past, I just realised may be I didn't share about it.
Last time I visited Kansas city , I came with colleagues so didn't think of doing my hobby stuff...however this time I started looking up yarn /craft stores, meetups a month in advance.
I asked my one and only local friend if she would like to attend a meetup, she agreed. So last Saturday we drove to this quaint yarn store who hosts social hours regularly. The day I went there, there was a trunk show.

To my surprise , it was a big turn out. We almost ran out of space to sit. 20 + people sat in this beautiful cafe knitting, crocheting , chatting for 2 hours. Oh I loved it!!!
I have talked about attending meetups during my travels, and people have told me its a novel idea.. most people don't even think of that. My friend was surprised to know how many craft stores I knew her city.
After the meetup , we went for lunch...I will cover that in my next post..
Wish me luck for a long journey home.
