We spent last weekend in St Louis with our friends Chip and Ally. Chip's parents were so generous to let us stay at their beautiful home and we were treated as royalty for the entire weekend.
St Louis is most famous for its Gateway Arch (officially, "Jefferson National Expansion Memorial"), the tallest national monument in the US, built in 1965. The arch represents St Louis important role as the gateway to the West during the 19th Century.
We didn't get much sleep there as our friends showed us around in the St Louis nightlife! The first night, after a lovely dinner at the St Louis Countryclub, we had drinks on the terrace of Harry's Bar with a magnificent view on the St Louis skyline. The second night, we had an amazing dinner at the Italian restaurant Dominic's on the Hill. There we had a taste of a special St Louis dessert: spumoni. After the delicious food, we spent the rest of the night downtown St Louis on Washington Ave...
Needless to say, we had an amazing weekend!
