Greetings from the Gateway!

Ah, my first post from the soil of St. Louis. After arriving in Carbondale, Illinois on a late Amtrak train, I took a small shuttle to St. Louis and I'll be damned if I did not wake up just in time to see the skyline impose itself upon the still decidedly sullen and wintry Southern Illinois industrial landscape.

Since my stay is rather short (until Monday), I cannot promise a lot, but I do hope to take my own pictures of the next St. Louis Main Street. Of course, I cannot tell you which, but I can give you just one small clue:

Willkommen!

'Til then.
