Jewish graveyard. Apparently, there were a lot of Polish immigrants that came to St. Louis.
Washington University in St. Louis. One of the top 20 universities in the US.
The St. Louis Art Museum. I didn't get the chance to go visit though.
St. Louis Basilica. Gothic looking on the outside but...
Oh so gorgeous inside!
The most part of the ceilings and walls are covered in mosiacs that glitter in the dim light.
The place is huge on the inside. Plenty of little nooks and corners that you can go and pray and light candles.
I could've spent a few hours inside just looking at the mosiacs. They were so beautiful...an absolute work of art!
Most of the mosiacs depict stories in the Bible and the life of Jesus.
When we were about to leave, the choir started practicing and the acoustics were unbelievable! The singing actually brought tears to my eyes.
The back of the building which is as interesting as the front.
The Cardinals stadium at St. Louis. Smack in the middle of downtown St. Louis.
The city actually commissioned graffitti artists to paint the flood walls by the river.
Bridge across the Missisippi River. St. Louis is in Missouri, Illinois is just across the bridge.
A riverboat cruise. We didn't go on it though. Saw it from the bus!
Another bridge...they seem to have a lot of those...
The famous arch of St. Louis - The gateway into the west. Its just an arch...
