St Louis last

We spent an afternoon at the Botanical Gardens. These city gardens are 150 years old. There is a temporary exhibitions by the French sculptor Niki de Saint Phalle. Nikis' work was often geared to children. She liked to use scary images in a fun way. She was influenced by the Spaniard Gaudi of Barcelona. There was also a great deal of Dale Chihuli (sp) glass.
Hurricane Ike blew through town our last full day. We had to modify our morning plans, but were able to take a tour of of the Budweiser factory in the afternoon.
I will be going back to Thailand November 10. Keep in touch!
Bye for now, Doahlah
