Didn`t notice any after effects from the accident yesterday, so that`s a good thing. Christina was up and about and we had some more good conversation. Can`t help but think we`ll meet up with Christina and her husband Marco again at some point in the future.
Kevin, Christina, and Ruth.
Kevin, trying to keep a smile, saying "boy, 12 seconds sure is a long time isn`t it?"
So we said goodbye to Christina and set off towards St. Louis.
Welcome to Indiana!
Just across the border into Lawrenceville, Indiana is the old Seagrams Distillery.
It was not an exciting drive to St. Louis. There are three ways to get there from Cincinnati. You could take the I-70 which goes a little north, the I-64 that goes a little south, or you could take the less traveled route 50 that goes right in between the two.
383 miles (613 kms)
Our first view of St. Louis.
They're building a new bridge across the Mississippi. When we were here last year in September, they were only building the concrete supports at the ends. Now, it's starting to look like a bridge.
Ruth got a good shot of the Old Courthouse reflected in the glass of this new building.
We arrived at Sam and Donna's around 5:30pm local time and they had all the fixings out to make Sam's world famous pizza!
Sam and Kevin enjoying a few cold Mooseheads from Canada!
Lucky you - one of Sam's pizzas. That reflection picture is just neat.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandie and Jim, that picture did turn pretty good if I say so myself. The pizzas were delicious!
Deletehope the pizza and the company were wonderful!!..enjoy your visit!
ReplyDeleteThey are both great, thanks!
DeleteBut what about Ruth and the pizza?
ReplyDeleteDonna has looked after me well in gluten free category. She had bought 2 gluten free pizza shells, a loaf of bread and a small bag of shortbread cookies, she is such a sweetie!
DeleteYou are being spoilt!
DeleteAnother fun day and good company. I asume the small pizzas are gluten free for Ruth.
ReplyDeleteYou are exactly right on the pizzas, George.
DeleteRuth, that is a COOL header pic! Sam's pizza looks yummy! I'm sure they provided gluten free for you. I remember last time Donna baked you a gluten free Canada cake. Enjoy your stay!
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie! You have a great memory, I had forgetten that she had made that cake.
DeleteLooks like a great time !!! Hello Sam,Donna & Riggs. Angela
ReplyDeleteWe will have a great time! Sam, Donna and Riggs say hi back.
DeleteYou look so stylin' with your new eyes! Sorry there was a reason for new ones ;) BTW, I told my Mom about you (she's a travel nut) and she wants to come travel with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reference and the awesome welcome to CS. ¡Buen Suerte!
Thanks Christina! We needed the glasses even before my other ones broke at least they broke at the right time.
DeleteTell your Mom she is welcome to come and visit us in Mexcio. I am sure she has lots of travel stories to tell us as well.
We enjoyed our time with you and hope your next couchsurfing experience is quite so "exciting"!
