Sunday, September 20
We are in Grafton, Illinois, where the Illinois River meets the Mississippi. Yesterday we rented a car to drive into St. Louis with our friends from Melinda B. We visited the Arch, the Budweiser Brewery, the Missouri Botanic Gardens, saw a dozen hot air balloons sailing through the sky, and had dinner at an Italian restaurant. On the way back we stopped at a 24 hour grocery store to stock up for another week.
Today we’re continuing our trip, entering the mighty Mississippi River and passing by the same Arch but with a river-view this time.
Ellen -- I've just caught up on your blog. What fun to read of your travels and activities. Traveling on the water is sure different from road travel. What a great experience you are having. Enjoy!!!! Betsy Woodard
