St. Louis

We had a nice uneventful trip to St. Louis. We made it on exactly one tank of gas. Yay. After checking in to the Motel 6 on the south side of St. Louis on I-55, we headed into St. Louis downtown to check out the arch and the downtown area. Lot's of nice trendy looking restaurants. Yet the downtown looks so dead.

After that we headed back and did some shopping at Target and Schnuk's grocery store which is pretty good despite the name. Back in our room, we had premade chicken, cous-cous, salad, and wine. Yummy. But Elena didn't like the cous-cous--it tasted stale to her. We had gotten it from Whole Foods in Madison. We also forgot to pick up a bottle of water. Those premade chickens are pretty salty.

St. Louis Or Bust

And we're off. In the next few minutes I'll pack up my laptop, put it in the car, then start our drive to St. Louis. Next post--from St. Louis.

Elena Returns

It's been a long time since I've updated my blog. I've been at home with my parents leading a life with nothing really travel related to blog about. But now Elena, who was in France and Morocco with me, is back. We'll rest up for a while. Then it's off to the Pacific Northwest.

Since it's snowy in the US, we are thinking of a route somethng like: St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, Austin, El Paso, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Fransisco, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver. Sound good? It does to me, too.
