Chain of Rocks Bridge

For the first time in all my years in St. Louis, I crossed the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge this past weekend.  I rode my bike up there and took in the lovely view:

The water towers from the bridge

The water towers and bridge from the Chouteau Island

The larger of these two towers also graces the cover of one of my favorite books about St. Louis!  Remember this?  It was cool to see it in person!

I also snapped two pictures of the 250th birthday celebration cakes that are all over St. Louis, but I am saving those for another post.
