Missouri - Historic St. Charles




From the multi-lane highway to the cobbled main street of St. Charles (1st photo) is a matter of moments, but suddenly I was in a quieter, gentler age, where the pace of life slows to that of the Missouri River, which is an eddy away from its confluence with the Mississippi (2nd photo). You glimpse this huge river between the historic buildings that include the original state Capitol, old log cabins (3rd photo) and modest history museums. Lunch was in the suitably historical Lewis and Clark’s American Restaurant (4th photo).
