Day 6: Saint Louis and Trying To Get To Nashville



We woke up to a damp morning bright and early (6 am) and started our drive towards St
Louis, Mo. When we arrived we strolled through the park on the
riverfront. There were amazing old brick buildings, most which were
vacant. And of course we visited...the arch! Oh the "gateway to the
west", how beautiful you are. We thought about going to the top to
get a better view of the city, but the line was too long. We settled
on walking around the park where the arch was. After a nice walk we
drove around trying to find a place for lunch, but got lost and ended
up in the ghetto (we almost strangled one another).

Finally after eating we got back in the car and started our drive
again towards Nashville. We were both so eager to arrive in Nashville
we didn’t want to stop anywhere else. That was until we saw one
tourist attraction we couldn't refuse or else we would have both
regretted it for years to come. Where is this you ask? Metropolis of
course ... hometown of Superman!!! There were endless opportunities
here for superhero fandom: Superman Museum, Superman collectible shop. But we settled on visiting the gigantic superman statue and taking a few pictures.
