Meet Me in St Louis Baby!

C and I have enjoyed a couple of wonderful days crossing the great state of Missouri and enjoying it's scenery. One of our destinations was Taum Saulk State Park, which houses the high point of Missouri....and yes, we love the High Points!


After conquering the high point (a .2 mile 'hike' on a paved path), we turned the car northward toward St Louis, as we had tickets to the Cardinals game....and I'd never seen the Arch!

Busch Field on an early summer eve:



Sadly, the Cards lost, but we really enjoyed being at Busch Stadium. The food was pretty good, for a baseball stadium, and the locals were ever so friendly!

We got up bright and early this morning and walked from our hotel down to the famed St Louis Arch


I couldn't believe how magnificent it was and how it captivated me!!



Our view from our hotel room yesterday afternoon.......the mighty Mississipp in the background



......the view from the elevator down into the lobby of our hotel




and the view down to my feet this morning in St Louis


PEACE!!!
