Kansas City - Country Club Plaza, Oklahoma Joe's, Kansas City, Legends

OK, so a few less steps than in New York but we do have a car now. 14,975 steps though, so not too shabby.

We started the day by heading to an interesting shopping plaza called Country Club Plaza. Normally shopping centres are reasonably dull but this one was designed along the lines of Seville, Spain. The architecture was similar and with the outdoor streets, it reminded us of Los Angeles.

Oklahoma Joe's is a BBQ joint that we had seen on Man v Food and we specifically went for burnt ends, along with the usual brilliant BBQ food that is available in America.

Awesome food, well worth the visit to Kansas City.

After that we headed downtown and had a wander. Apparently everything closes down on Monday but Wow!, not many people about. In fact, Kansas City has an awesome road system to get anywhere quickly but downtown was pretty much the quietest city we have visited.

A nice city, very clean, it has to be said, but quiet nonetheless.

OK, so after checking out downtown, he had a look-see at the Union Station, which is very stylish. There are plenty of Union Stations in different cities of the US and they all have a similar look, with large imposing halls and stylish architectural features.

Finally, a look at Legends Shopping Centre...another outlet centre with some decent shops...very close to our hotel as well as very close to the Kansas Speedway (Nascar) and the Kansas City Football team's ground - Livestrong Stadium. Tonight, Mexico were playing Honduras...I believe, in an Olympic Qualifier, but i'm not 100% sure.

Either way, an impressive stadium.
