St. Louis, Missouri
St. Louis Missouri!!!
After five hours crammed in a rental van we arrived in St. Louis and met up with another member of our crew, Parys.
We had just enough time for a quick and wonderful dinner before it was time for our Squardance/Art Auction. The Squardance was a stomping success, with tons of donated art, dancing, literature, and conversation.
On the seventh day of our travels, we rested.
Amidst our resting, we fixed up Parys’ truck, cooked a few delicious meals, and prepared for the next phase of our trip.
Thanks to the folks at CAMP (the Community Arts and Media Project) for lending us some space to rest up in.
Tonight the whole crew totally went to the Alix Olsen show at Webster College. Parys totally hooked Alix up with some FireUP! Literature.
The only thing left to do now is wait; for the last two members of the work crew, for some homegrown squash from Dremlin Farm; for the vehicle that will take us on the next leg of the trip: for the morning when we’ll roll out towards Arizona.
Thanks to Schafly’s pub that donated our space; to the band and the squaredance caller; to Justicia for opening her house; for the many artisans that donated art; to Parys’ mom; to CAMP; thanks to St. Louis. We’re about to pass through the gateway to the west… off we go.
