While in Hannibal, MO we took a dinner cruise on the Mark Twain Riverboat. It was a fun experience. The Mississippi River is amazing. It's about a mile wide and very muddy. Mark Twain once described the Mississippi River as "too thin to plow and too thick to drink." It is very true. It's not the kind of river that I would want to swim in.

This is a picture of a barge hauling coal. We saw several of these during the week. They are a lot bigger than they look in this picture. One of the passengers told us that working on a barge like this is considered one of the most dangerous jobs in the world! I was surprised to hear that especially because there was not a soul to be seen and it was moving so slowly and quietly.
