Will be back home in Mississippi with fond memories of my short, but lovely, trip to St. Louis.
Went to the Gateway Arch and rode the elevators to the top. Rode the metro across the river so I could say I’ve been to Illinois. Discussed politics AND religion with the most delightful lady over Peruvian food. Drank a heavenly strawberry-basil mojito. Made awesome contacts. Received the training I came for.
Excellent trip!

I hope you have pics?
See, that’s the kind of work trip I want. Especially if I wouldn’t have to socialize with my co-workers. But my position doesn’t involve any travel. shoot.
An avoided a grisly death!
