St. Louis City Museum
We went to City Museum in St. Louis in March 2010. It's a very interesting place - recommended for a visit if you get the chance.

MotoGP
Brian and I went to the MotoGP race on August 29 and had a great time. Here are a few images from our time there.
This is looking at the pagoda from inside the track.
The various motorcycle manufacturers had tents set up to show their stuff, so we spent some time walking through them. Here's Brian on a Honda. Looks like he just needs a license and he's ready to go!
These are some of the Moto2 GP racers. We got there too late to see the entire race, but we caught a few laps.

This is one of the MotoGP racers. I don't remember which one.
This is an American who was on the pole for the race. He was from Texas. He stayed in front for a while, but was passed about midway through the race by the eventual winner. He finished 2nd.
They had 3 parachutists drop in before the start of the MotoGP race. The announcer obviously couldn't see them as he kept saying they would arrive any minute while we were watching them drop from the sky. Even after they landed, the announcer was still encouraging everyone to watch for them.

Circle Centre Mall, January 2010
We went to Circle Centre Mall in January. It isn't something we do often, so I thought I'd take some pictures there. These are some of the results.
This image is looking east from the Arts Garden at the south side of Washington St. It's the detail of one of the buildings along there that I thought interesting.
This image is looking east from the Arts Garden at the north side of Washington St. It's one of those pictures you can provide someone in 2050 to say this is what downtown looked like 40 years ago. Meanwhile, you can use it to show someone what it looked like just a few months ago.
Looking the other direction, over the railing to the floor below, we saw that there was some kind of art show going on. Here Brian and Janet are checking out the stuff.
The next few images are of some of the art.
This image is of the glass "sun" hanging in the main hall of Circle Centre. I've taken this picture a gazillion times, but I keep thinking I'll get a good one of it. I think I am now giving up.
