Gateway to the West

St. Louis, the historic gateway to the American West, is a great city to visit ... easy to navigate, not so large that you get overwhelmed, and plenty to do.

These are shots as you enter the city crossing the mighty Mississippi on I-64 West. As soon as you come into the city you'll see Busch Stadium, home of the Cardinals. Our hotel (Drury Inn at the Arch) was only a couple blocks down so we drove right beside the stadium (you can see into and onto the field from centerfield on Clark Street).

Next stop ... our hotel, the Arch, and downtown sites!
