• Guess where I’ve been??  ST. LOUIS!

  
  

  

  
  

  Went to the zoo!  My favorite part was the penguin palace.  I took a couple of great pictures, but I can’t get them to scan at the resolution I want. 

  
  

  So here is the brochure with the penguins modeling for a professional.

  
  

  

  
  

  I like my pictures better but until they make a photo shop for “complete computer imbeciles” I will have to do the best I can.

  
  

  Check out the hippo, he was really aggressive and looked very dangerous,which I’ve heard they are.  But at the same time once he got in the water he seemed so graceful.  It reminded me of the dancing hippos in Fantasia.

  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

  One evening we drove down the river road and ate fish sandwiches on the banks of the Mississippi, the sunset was amazing.  As anyone who takes photographs knows a picture is never as good as the real thing.  So you will have to use your imagination and make the real thing ten times better than this picture.  Of course all I had was a disposable camera so I shouldn’t bitch to much huh!

  
  

  That may be why a lot of them are so grainy.

  
  

  

  
  

   

  
  

  I also went to the biggest display of mosaic art in the world.  The St. Louis cathedral.  That was a good suggestion made by iris_nyx

  
  

  

  
  

  I guess this is it for now.  I’m going to put some more pictures up tomorrow.  I spent a lot of the time I was there helping out at Piasa Winery.  It was grape harvest time.  So I’ll write some about my wine making adventures and how I came out of it with a case of free wine.  Mmmm!

  
  

  See you tomorrow.  Missed you guys!

  
  

  Two more for the road…me and my sister taking the ferry across the Illinois river.

  
  

  

  
  

  This is really the end now, haha!
