Wichita Kansas

The train didn't move this week so it was still parked in Newton but the arena the circus played was in Wichita. It was good to have somewhere else to explore, though once again it was so hot it made it a bit difficult wandering around.

The school had planned a field trip to Old Cowtown which sounded lots of fun and something different but it got cancelled due to the weather. Not bad wet weather but because it was so hot and it was an outdoor attraction. That is how hot we have been having it.

The arena was in the Arena Neighbourhood, strangely enough they often are. This was right next to Old Town which was a nice bit of town but not a lot there other than places to eat and a water feature that you could play in. This cooled Willow down a bit but it was amazing how fast her clothes dried off.



There is a lot of art and sculptures around Douglas Street and I found out later that there is a self-guided sculpture walk.






On the last day here the train moved from Newton and parked right behind the arena. Oh how great it would be to always be that close. We were parked in an old train station which doubled up as a train museum.
