Meet me in St Louis....

14/11/2013

 
Few days of driving with a few noteable photos, some camping and some Birds. The Peabody Ducks no less. The shots are terrible and the little feathered critters shot across the red carpet in about 1 millisecond so nothing of note there. If you look carefully you will see the smudge on the photo. Free entertainment that we missed many years ago as they do it only twice a day. Once down from their penthouse and once up.

It been cold here. Certainly well below freezing each night. Thankfully the Webasto is working ! I've had a bad back so i've been on the meds again. Possibly the cold off the window at night. Anyhow I've have 2 good nights out of the last 4 so can't complain (yet). If it continues we shall see how good my travel insurance is and I'll see If i can get some of those pain meds we hear all the stars are taking....if they get me high, all the better. I'll have a night off the wine.

Matilda is doing fine. Need some new tyres soon. Anybody know where I can get some cheap.....or free ? This is where knowing the right people come in to its own. The area manager for BFG would be good. Head office told me to go away quite politely.

The Arch in St Louis is worth the trip. Always wanted to see it. $7usd with our parks pass. $10 without one. Scary leaning over to see the view. The teleport pods that get you to the top are retro fantastic. Excellent off peak. We also found a full bag of souveniers which we handed in. How do you drop a bag full of paid for souveniers complete with credit card receipt ? Anyhow, I hope they get em back. (there was nothing we wanted or have room for !)

We are gradually picking up stuff to bring back home. Nothing exciting just some soap for Mum and some cream for Mum....and something else for Mum....did I mention we've only purchased about 5 things in 2 years for ourselves.....no room. The soap isn't yet driving me mad as its found a place. Julies Hat on the other had is driving me mad.....did I mention she got a hat in Bolivia....worn twice.... its got a cable wrapped round it so its got a use.
