December 14, 2008

The weather report is calling for a strong chance of freezing rain and arctic temperatures so we punt, cancel the rest of our tour, and head north from Little Rock, AR via the interstate. By the time we make it to St Louis we are tired of driving, so we stop at the Anheuser-Busch brewery for free beer. We have to suffer thru an hour-long tour before we get escorted to the hospitality room. A Belgian conglomerate recently bought Busch so they now have the famous Belgian brew, Stella Artois, on tap. It is not as good as I remember, probably because the keg spent a month on a slow boat from Europe coming here. Now rested, we cover the last leg of the trip and pull into my parent’s home in Godfrey, IL ready for a home-cooked meal.
