While in Hannibal, the Prince visited the Hannibal Regional Hospital, watching a cataract surgery and received the Keys to the city from the mayor of Hannibal.
Prince Albert had this to say about his trip so far, "It wasn't supposed to be an official visit. It's wonderful, and people have been so nice,
warm and friendly. I already feel very much at home here. I get to talk with quite a few people.
It's great to be in the heartland and see part of the United States that I guess foreign visitors don't get to see that often."
The Prince attended a barbeque Monday night and is sightseeing in St. Louis Tuesday and Wednesday.
