Yesterday I went on a bus tour of St. Louis. It is such a pretty town. Old brick buildings with carvings, etc on the buildings. They are doing a great job of restoring the old buildings and building new ones to match the archetecture of the existing ones. The tour guide was very good and took us to some places that were not on the list.
We had the choice of going to the Arch or the Brewery. I chose the Arch and took the ride to the top. It was quite a trip. The Arch is quite impressive. But the most impressive place we visited was The Cathedral Basilica of St Louis. WOW!! does not even begin to describe ones reaction when you go in and see it for the first time. There are over 41,500 pieces of mosaics in more than 8,000 shades of colors. There are no words to describe how beautiful it is.
She also drove us thru different neighborhoods. If I had gone on my own I never would have seen. She was very informative and very proud of St Louis and the history of the area.
