Visiting St. Louis
Not part of the original plan to be going through St. Louis now
We did a Priceline deal at the very last minute coming into St. Louis (I didn't think it would work, but Tony insisted), and I was impressed with how great a place it got us, we were able to walk RIGHT across the street to the Arch! (And of course, the hotel wasn't too shabby either - perhaps the best place we'll stay on ...
WE GONE
Hey, we're on the road again. We finally got things in good enough shape to leave on

Day 9
... vs the new York Mets, but didn't hang around for too long cus it was really expensive! We didn't go up the arch because even though it was cloudy it was really hot and didn't fancy going up in a small elevator to see out of the tiny windows in the heat! So we left st Louis, got back on route 66 an headed for Meramec caverns but arrived just after the last tour so decided to sleep over night and catch the tour in the morning! I also made a ...
