Things of Beauty

The next day we were walking in Naperville and spotted these beauties!

The Last Night Down Under ????!!!

Our last evening in the States and we went to an Australian Steak House !!

Lovely sunset the last two nights as you can see, back home tomorrow sigh...

Outdoor World

Been taking it easy for a few days, had a look at a giant new shopping mall in the local area and had a long walk at the lovely Naperville Riverside.

Particularly interesting was the Bass Pro outdoor world shop, which has everything you need for any outdoor pursuit on a giant scale !!

P.S we have changed the car for a smaller model now we are not travelling such large distances.

The end of the road :-)

We spent quite a lot of time in St Louis this morning particularly at the riverfront and the arch. Afterwards we set off on Route 66 at the Chain of Rocks bridge from both the Missouri and Illinois ends, we also visited the famous Ted Drewe frozen custard stand. We alternated between Route 66 and the Interstate and ended up in Naperville at around 9:30pm, tired but happy. We will calculate how many miles we have covered over the past two weeks, a rough estimate at this point is around 2,800 !!! Going to have a rest for the next few days :-)
