Checking out Kansas City
This weekend I drove down to Kansas City to check out the town and hang out with my friend Fernando who just moved down there. It was a good five and a half hour drive, but, surprisingly, I did not feel too bad after it. I checked out KC couchsurfing group and they happened to have a monthly meet up that night so we joined them at Harry’s Country Club (which is not really a country club but a nice small bar with lots of different foreign beers). There were at least a dozen and a half people swapping travel stories and just hanging out. Afterward we walked around the downtown and checked out the Power and Light district, one of three hip places to hang out in town.
On Friday, we hit up another one of the three places to hang out - the Plaza. It was a more trendy area than the bar scene at the Power and Light district. Another couchsurfer, Melissa, took us there after grabbing some pretty decent sushi at Kato. First we hit up reVerse, a trendy joint, where Melissa’s roommate joined us and afterward we walked over to Fred P Ott’s for a more casual atmosphere.
