Today's Mileage: 60Total Mileage: 2880
Mmm! No better way to start a day than with a hot breakfast. After saying farewell to the Tylers, we were back on the Katy Trail and on our way to St. Charles. I had miscalculated the mileage, so we arrived before lunch and decided to continue on to St. Louis in the afternoon.
We had lunch at a brewery, then walked around historic downtown St. Charles. After some ice cream, we headed out for St. Louis. The route I had mapped out took us along a state highway, but it ended up being a HUGE freeway-style road, complete with fast cars and dangerous exit ramps, before it returned to a reasonable two-lane road. Luckily, we all made it safely into the city.
We headed for a motel near the airport with cheaper prices, and enjoyed some showers and relaxation before checking out the town. A hotel shuttle took us to the airport where we caught the Metro into Delmar Loop, a "happenin'" part of St. Louis. We ate dinner at an outdoor cafe that featured Belgian beers.
