More Pictures from St. Louis


The weather in St. Louis was not very good, as you will see in these next few pictures. On our first full day in St. Louis, Nate and I went to the St. Louis Temple and then to the Art Museum. When we were ready to leave we were greeted by a terrific rainstorm. Nate got very wet getting the car.



Then we decided to visit Illinois. The best part of the trip to Illinois was this really great gas station.


The next day, Nate and I decided to go to the zoo even though it was extremely chilly. The St. Louis Zoo has been called one of the best zoos in the country, so we couldn't miss it. But we were very cold.

The animals were cold too. Many of the animals, like the giraffes and this ostrich, were inside.



The camel was so cold that he was foaming.

The polar bear, on the other hand, was perfectly content.

One of the really cool things about the St. Louis Zoo is that it is really old. They still have animals in some of the beautiful historical buildings, like the Herpetarium below.

We will have to go back to the zoo someday when the weather is better.
