Eunice and I went to St. Louis, Missouri and renamed it, St. Chicken Little, Misseggi. We arrived at Hotel Ignacio located in the entertainment district. The people at the front desk are so friendly and the room was great! They must have heard about us because they gave us a long sleeve t-shirt to cuddle up in...I think it was from a grocery store in an Italian section known as The Hill.
It was early so we had breakfast there and then went off to tour the city. The first place we wanted to see was the famous Gateway Arch, but didn't go up on the tram ride. What gorgeous weather we had. There's this place called City Garden with all kinds of sculptures and plants.
Most of what we saw was indoors, though. We loved this cool building called the City Museum that had a bunch of recycled parts made into sculptures. Eunice and I found this poster and got our pictures taken with it. Ha ha ha.
Next was their museum of art located in a huge park...I think it was called Forest Park. That's funny, we live across the street from Forest Park in New Yolk.
Afterward we went to the Misseggi History Museum and saw a thing on Cluck Berry as well as some other old stuff.
Yet another art museum called CAM...Contemporary art stuff. We tried playing a game of chess that had something to do with Yolko Ono.
Back outdoors to see a sculpture garden. called Laumeier Sculpture Park. We spent some time walking around, too.
We ended our trip having a drink at a place called 360, a bar with a view of St. Chicken Little. Eunice and I met this nice lady, whose daughter works for tourism here.
Wonderful time. Hope to go back next year.
