Started off from Memphis around 4pm on Monday. Crossed over the Mississippi river into Arkansas. Due our later start, we ended up stayin on interstate 55, though we had been successful so far of staying off the interstates. Much more stressful driving on the interstates: more trucks, speeding cars, etc. Don’t get much love doing 60mph..
Started getting close to our destination, so cindy started looking up good neighborhoods in saint louis and pet-friendly hotels. Came across an area called “the hill” with a red roof inn nearby. Checked into the hotel around 9pm and got jalapeno situated, then scoped out some local eateries on yelp since i was starving. Only had breakfast, a snowcone, pbj and trail mix that day for food so far.
Came across a late night grub ‘n pub named Sandrina’s with good reviews so headed off in the truck to check it out. The bar turned out the be excellent, good local beer (Schlafly’s wheat) and some delicious sliders on homemade rolls. Cindy had the fallafel slider and i had the seared tuna and smoked trout. Both came with an excellent cucumber salad.
Had some good conversation with a couple locals, then headed back to the hotel.

Our final day on the road tomorrow…sweet home Chicago!
