Day 6: St. Louis

Wonderful city!  Very walkable and full of art and culture!  Took the tram to the top of the Arch (not for the claustrophobic that's for sure), visited the Art Museum (being renovated but had some good European paintings that I enjoyed), stopped by the City Museum (wish I had more time to explore its many quirky tunnels), explored the City Garden (full of fun and whimsical outdoor sculptures), and had some quiet time in the Cathedral Basilica (full of fantastic mosaics).  Had a great time with my host, Phoebe Welsh (the mom of one of Steph's friends from her London program-I'm so pleased the girls have kept in touch through the past five years and now they are both in school in NYC).
Had toasted ravioli-a St. Louis treat and homemade peach muffins-Yum!
Off to KC tomorrow via the Missouri Rhineland, no highway driving tomorrow for me-yeah!
