Elsah

In Illinois, close to where the Mississippi River and the Missouri River merge, there is a tiny, picturesque village of the name Elsah. It is really the most charming, perfect place and you will not find one neglected garden or ugly house. You will feel like you are walking through a coffee table book. 







It was good to see though, that while clearly having an eye for beauty, the people of Elsah also have a great sense of humor. Look at this truck parked in one of the little streets!


While admiring the truck from all sides, I saw daughter's eyes widen more and more. "We can do that, too!", she said. "I will glue all my little animals on your Mini as soon as we get home!" 


I don't think so.


But we did have lunch on the side of the road, having ice tea, onion rings and ice cream with peaches. They even sold frog legs, caught fresh out of the river but we did pass on those.
