DAY TWENTY-SEVEN: St. Louis, MO

June 28th
St. Louis, MO

Today's forecast: pouring rain, mostly, with dry spots

Today was our first day off. We had a late morning with a 8-8:30 wake up time. Many of us walked down to a local diner and had a wonderful breakfast of eggs, toast, bagels, waffles, bacon, and a few other great things that people ordered.

Then about 15 of us drove down to the Anheuser Busch brewery for a tour of their main facility. We saw the Clydesdales, and each of the 3 steps of the beer brewing process. We also learned some important information about the fresh, high quality taste of Budweiser beer, and also about the company's time-honored tradition.
It was especially fun exploring the gift shop. Someone even put on a Budweiser bathing suit!

Afterwards, we stopped at Steak n Shake for a delicious shakes, and then some went to the zoo and others to the science center. Apparently there were some awesome penguins and a bonking-rhino. :-/

Again, a great dinner provided by the Habitat chapter. Afterwards some visited the Arch and got some awesome pictures of the city from the "pod" that goes up the arch.

Others visited the Lion King, showing at the Fox Theater across the street. Meanwhile Miriam attemptep to dread-lock her hair with Ali.
