I have been to St. Louis once before, but this was Daniel’s first time. We arrived around noon from Louisville. First we had to eat lunch, so we stopped in at Iron Barley, where Daniel tried the famous Monte Cristo hot dog and I had a Veggie Ruben sandwich and red potato salad. Believe me when I say it was heavenly. Then we made a pit stop at the Crown Candy store/restaurant where we proceeded to wait in line for about 45 minutes outside. Thankfully, we were already prepared because of the Travel Channel. Also a good thing to travel in a small group of two because we got to cut in front of about 20 people to sit down. They not only make and sell their own candy, but have wonderful Malt shakes. We split a chocolate-cherry malt, which comes in the old-fashioned metal pint glass (equivalent to about 3 milk shake glasses at most). Glad we didn’t get two. It actually had cherry chunks!! For me, it was one of the best shakes I have ever had. Then we drove to see the Arch by the waterfront. Tip: don’t pay $6 for parking, if you are willing to walk a couple blocks you can park free. Then we walked all the way to Union Station (about 17 blocks), stopping in briefly at the sculpture park. Yes, you can actually step into the fallen head statue. After all of the walking and sleep deprivation, it is needless to say we were ready to move on.
St. Louis Arch: Look how it bends!! Trippy….
