THE SAMURAI OF ALTON


Everybody is more than a little stir crazy. The Crowe family is on a post-Thanksgiving getaway, although not very far from home. The town of Alton, Illinois, is an outer suburb of St. Louis, on the Mississippi straight north of our home. We are spending two nights at the splendid Beall Mansion, https://www.beallmansion.com/. It is a luxurious Victorian confection turned into a grand B&B. They have taken great safety measures for guests and we feel comfortable. Plus, I think we are the only guests here.
 
Out exploring the waterways on Saturday. We are near the confluences of the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois rivers.

Best wishes for a few days in different places...I'm looking forward to seeing the big rivers doing their things...however you may capture them!
