The Forest Through the Trees

Dear My Gorgeous Pretties,

How are you this week? Life in Mexico has been pretty sweet. HOT! but sweet, nevertheless. All the vibrant colors and rich history, slow-er pace of life, is a gentle reminder for me to stay present. Stay in the moment. Enjoy the joi de vivre. Which is hard sometimes when you’re trying to see the forest through the trees. But that’s why you have to remember to just breathe. There are surprisingly a ton of vegan options here which has simply delighted by pretty little haHt. I can’t wait to share these adventures with you next month. But no more skipping ahead. Back to where we left off!

Adventures in the (quite literally iconic and) historic Forest Park took up the remainder of most of my days in St. Louis. Home to the St. Louis History Museum, St. Louis Museum of Fine Arts, St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis Science Center, the Muny (America’s largest & oldest outdoor musical theatre) Performing Arts Complex, and spanning over 1200 acres, this is the site where the infamous World’s Fair (aka the Louisiana Purchase Exposition) took place. Drawing over 20 million visitors from April to December 1904, and hosting 60+ countries and 43 of the then 45 American states, the lasting impact of the affair on the city’s influence in the field’s of arts, architecture, and sciences is undeniable, and the St. Louis History Museum has a sensational exhibit that that showcases all of it.
