Hanging in the Gateway

“I need to a day off to recover from our day off,” Will said and all were in agreement. Feeling a little weak from the previous night’s exploits, we set off in search of lighter fare than the heavy meals of the past days.

We drove through Forest Park, stopping to take a picture of the van outside the art museum.



The park is gorgeous and includes a free zoo, which seemed to be closed because of the rain – we were still able to seem kangaroos and flamingos bouncing about. It was hard not to be impressed by the regal architecture on Washington University’s campus. Driving through University City and its various curiosity shops, we all commented how charming we found this section of St. Louis.

After consuming some delicious Middle Eastern cuisine, we stopped at Meshuggah coffee house for a some wicked strong cups of joe and free wireless. Then it was onto the Anheuser-Busch brewery, an experience better served by pictures. However, we must note that we had the pleasure of tasting Bud Light Golden Wheat, Bud’s version of a summery wheat beer like Blue Moon, and were quite surprised how flavorful it was. It will be launched in October, but you heard about it first from The Jaguar Club.
