Headed toward the river this morning to see the arch and riverboats. Unfortunately we were to late to take a boat trip, but did get time to look around the museum/visitor centre under the "Gateway to the West".
Of course, it was mandatory to stop by the home of the largest brewing operation in America, the Anheuser Busch brewery, home of Bud. Then it was a mamouth drive on to our next motel, the Munger Moss, an iconic Route 66 stop. Leaving St. Louis we stopped by Ted Drews, a most amazing "frozen custard" joint. Then en route, were the famous Meramec caverns, Americas answer to Wookey hole (complete with cheeseastic light show, courtesy of a somewhat over zealous tour guide), as well as a half scale concrete Stonehenge (conveniently opposite an all you can eat Chinese).
Finally rolled into the motel around 2200, where the kind proprietor had left the famous sign on!
