I had an enjoyable day that began by learning about space flight and finished with a visit to the home of a famous author from the first quarter of the twentieth century.
A mixture of sun and clouds, with slightly cooler temperatures, provided a pretty backdrop to the many farms and serene scenes I passed during my drive today. I departed Bellefontaine around 9:10 and drove into town to get some pictures of the town.
