October 9, 2010- Day 101

How do I capture Oktoberfest? That was the question I kept asking. I went out with work friends, Kim's and mine. We started in Soulard then took a shuttle to the festivities. It was crowded! There were beer tents everywhere and the wonderful smell of German food surrounded us as we walked around Lyon Park. Just so you know, the potato pancakes are awesome!

We couldn't pass up these beer steins! Kim's friend, Kim was joking around but I thought it was an awesome way to capture the day. Looking into an empty glass.  Beer, food, friends, it was all a good time!!

September 10, 2010 Day 72

I love new fun areas downtown. I would so live here if I wasn't scared of moving to the city and didn't mind parallel parking. I saw this and my jaw dropped like OH so cute! I want to sit on that bench back there and read a book! 

September 5, 2010- Day 67

Today I went to the Greek Festival with Kim and stood in the longest line ever for the most amazing gyro!! A guy who was working asked us if we were looking for a table and I quickly said yes. He said, "Well I don't have one but follow me". Then he started asking people if they could move so we could sit. Kim and I were embarrassed and laughing.  When that didn't work he took us to a Reserved table and told these older folks that we were going to sit there.  Before he left he told us that we could sit there until someone kicked us out. We enjoyed the Greek music but left soon after we finished eating. We didn't want to be asked to leave the table! After the festival we headed to Soulard. It is so beautiful there!
