Hey guys,
Long awaited blog with not many pics because my phone died (definitively) the next day :/
After falling asleep in front of the riveting movie Baby Driver, I woke up on the floor at 6:00 A.M. So much for sleeping in on a rest day :(. While the others slept in I walked around The Grove (our host’s neighborhood), got a long-awaited pastry, and called family.
We then vegetated all morning in the Air Bnb before deciding to head out to see the Saint Louis Arch. I missed moving around on foot instead of wheels, so I opted for a two-hour walk to the Arch. Along the way, I passed through some cute neighborhoods (Lafayette Square!!!), stopped for coffee, and admired the stadium.
I met up with everyone at the Arch where we bought the mandatory national park sticker— our bikes are slowly getting covered. Varsha, Rebecca, Jess, and I walked to a second coffee shop and hung out in a diner while Sophia explored the City Museum.
We ended the day on a high with our hosts and their friends, who cooked dinner and relaxed with us for the evening.
