On The Road Again

As youAfter a restful night at the Lee's Summit Comfort Inn, we connected with the local Subaru dealer.  We only needed a new gas cap and by 11:00 we were on our way to the Arch!

As you can tell, we were awed by this fete of engineering .  It was meltingly hot , 97*, but we took the cable car to the top for the view. The Missussippi River was so high that all cruise boats were cancelled for the week. 

Leaving St.Louis around dinner time we decided to drive like crazy to get to Louisville.  It wasn't a bad drive, but we had so any bugs on the windshield that it looked like rain!

We entered Eastern time, lost the hour and arrived at the Fern Valley Hotel and Convention center.  Do not ever go to this place.  We survived and I cannot wait to learn how to tweet about our experience.  I wrote  Tripadvisor review, but the poor people don't even know how to get in touch with the owners. The hotel is enormous and falling down around them.
