Since I was planning on visiting Hannibal, Missouri this summer, I read Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. I am a big Mark Twain fan so I really enjoyed the adventures.

While in Missouri, I looked up a good friend and fellow teacher, Cindy, she was a great tour guide. We took a memorable trip to Hannibal and toured the historic town of Hannibal and the cave. The surrounding area is impoverished, but the childhood home of Samuel Clemens and his friends, Tom Blankenship, Huck Finn and Becky Thatcher, Laura Hawkins, are very well cared for.
