“Well, which one, dammit!?” I snarl at the GPS when it tells me to take the left exit and the traffic demands a quick and irrevocable decision. (Yep – on a long, solo road trip it is perfectly normal to have conversations with your GPS!) After weeks of dawdling on back roads, the downtown St. Louis rush hour traffic is hitting my nervous system like a splash of cold water in the face! Thankfully, the little machine isn’t programmed to get in a snit in the face of my bad behavior and she continues patiently directing me to my hotel.
Up and Over St Louis
St. Louis. It’s a bit daunting to think of deciding what to cover of St. Louis in just two days. One could spend months exploring this great city. I’m a guest at the Hilton Inn at the Ballpark and my room on the 17th floor has a wall of windows with a great view of the new Citygarden which opened just over a year ago and the Civil Courts Building, a gorgeous 1927 art deco structure.
If you have been with me for any length of time, you know I seldom plan or decide to do anything. I just walk out the door and see what Serendipity has in store.
