St. Louis

This is the first stop of our tour of St. Louis. It's the huge Basilica of St. Louis. The inside is covered with mosaics. They are everywhere. I've never seen anything like it. Beautiful

I started to show more, but decided you might get bored and close the site.

This pool is a left over from the 1904 World's Fair in Forrest Park. The park is four times bigger that Central Park in New York. It has a zoo (free) two ar three museums and miles of walking trails all in the center of the city.

We toured Bush Statium three days before the play off game with Brewers. This from the broadcast booth. See the arch mowed in the grass.

The Card's dugout.

We got to go down on the field as long as we didn't step on the grass.

The next day we went out to Grant's Farm to see the Clydesdales. This is U.S. Grants house when he first married.

This building is a beer garden and some stables for the big guys. It looks very German and old.

Here are the two newest additions to the Clydsdale family. They are about four months old.

This is downtown St. Louis near the Gateway Arch. If you look at the glass building on the left you can see the reflextion of the Arch.

This is how you get into the visitors center under the arch. Your dad took the tram up to the top and looked over the city. It's over 600 feet tall. I stayed down below with about seven others of our group and watched a movie about Lewis and Clark.

We had two very busy days being driven around town. So on our free day, we did laundry and went to visit with Aunt Beverly and Uncle Marvin. We had a nice afternoon, and we got to see Kim and Bo and their three kids. I can't get over how big they have gotten.

We're in Memphis at the moment. I editted the pictures. I had twice that many chosen. I decided not to torcher you because I love you. So I blog later about our whirl wind tour in Elvis country.
