Oh louie! You've been lovely. Hot, but lovely. It was 104 yesterday. HOT!
I've been here for four days and I'm leaving tonight. It's been a good run. The majority of my shows and schools have been awesome. I met some really kind people. A local actor and a filmmaker/ school teachers who were wonderful. We chatted about film. Acting. My job and how ridiculous it is. People here are nice. It's funny, because I feel like Missouri is a state we easily forget about on the east coast. It's in the middle. Like all those other ones. The middle does have some decent things to be said for it though. I discovered Steak N' Shake, and that was pretty delicious. I even had a half day! I used it to sightsee.
I took a steamboat down the Mississippi. I do say, this was one of my life goals. Check.
I went to the top of the Arch. It was neat. To get up there, you ride in catepillar-pod type contraption. It was straight out of the 60's space age. I went to the museum. I learned a lot about St. Louis, the Louisiana Purchase and Lewis and Clark. It was pretty cool.
All and all, a lovely end to my summer of yo-yo travel. Now it's time to head back home. You'll hear from me next in October, in Toronto!
