I had a business meeting scheduled for St Louis Monday of last week. Since neither of us has been there before and the flights were very expensive, Jewels and I decided to drive down to St Louis following the might Mississippi. We managed to turn a 11 hour trip into two days of travel and although the scenery was mostly very nice with the river and the hills and heritage, we didn't do much as the temps were running in the 100F + range. The air conditioner in the car kept us close to the vehicle and we limited our sight seeing from the windows of the Pontiac.
It was great to see some of the cities which were famous as birth places of some famous Americans. Ronald Regan in Dixon Illinois, Mark Twain in Hannibal Mo, and Ulysees Grant in Galeena Illinois where I took some pics of the old brick buildings in the down town area. It was also interesting to pass through Amish country in a couple of areas.
Oh.. and corn.. corn, corn CORN, Corn.. everywhere. And Jeezzz... the stuff was about 2 feet higher that the fat old guy that posed by the corn field.. great farm lands along the Mississippi.
Meetings went well, business is looking to be very busy this summer, and of course, Life is Good!
