Travelogue: Day 1, Stop 2

Saint Louis. Arrived at around 6pm. Staying at a Drury Inn that is a sensible default halfway stop for our regular Saint Paul to New Orleans route. This participle is clean and well maintained with free dinner and breakfast and three free complementary alcoholic beverages for each adult. It’s not The Ritz but one can’t be the price and it’s only for one night anyway. Enjoyed the hot tub and about to settle in with my current read and my third glass of wine.

My wife said she needed a “stiff drink”. Have not really ever made a martini but know the basics. So, I whipped up a pretty wicked martini that met her criteria and approval.

We may need another just to be sure it wasn’t a fluke.🍸

It used to be that I could handle chilly weather without a hat. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve found that to be less and less the case. My head has gotten very cold sensitive (despite still having a full head of hair). Good thing I love hats and have quite a few in different styles.
