Started: St. Louis, MO
Ended: St. Louis, MO
Total Distance: some miles about town
My slow road to recovery has meant that we didn’t do a walking tour of SLU, though much of the campus seemed as new to R as it did to me. I did attend the tour we took as a school with my advisory class back in 2013, though, so I feel as though I have the gist. I do need to make sure to pick up some Billikins gear when we’re back in town at the end of the month, though.
The real highlight of the night, we went to R’s sister’s typical trivia night. Of course our team won. I am just disappointed that we didn’t win by more. I am doubly disappointed that I forgot the author of the song “Don’t Dream It’s Over”—it’s Crowded House. I wrote Culture Club. What?!?!
Also, can we talk about how R’s friend’s house is a historical site. The birthplace of a former member of the U.S. Soccer team. And apparently, the Hill is littered with the birthplaces of sports icons like Yogi Berra, Joe Garagiola and Jack Buck. Also, it’s a great, vibrant Little Italy.
