STL DPB ON THE ROAD - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS

Kelly and Marcellus take a victory lap, so to speak, after making it official. They have known one another since seventh grade and were high school sweethearts. They stuck together while work took him to Boston for two years and she remained in New York. Their wedding was postponed by Covid. Looks to me like it was worth the wait. 

We got back from Boston today. Two days in STL and then drive to Kansas City for another niece's wedding. Makes me feel like the country music truck driver's song, Six Days On The Road And I'm Gonna Make It Home Tonight.        

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - MY, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL

My niece, Kelly, reading the wedding vows she wrote. That's the thing these days. After this scene, her husband, Marcellus, read his.

I do not do weddings but I got a seat on the center aisle and the light was a gift - 5 PM, cloudless, as the sun was getting lower behind the audience. Maybe I should develop a side hustle.           

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - SMOOCH

My niece Kelly's wedding, Chatham Bars Inn, Cape Cod.          

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - SAND BAR AND OTHERS

We made it out of Boston yesterday and drove to Cape Cod, a summer mecca in the northeastern U.S. My niece is getting married today on the beach at Chatham, right at the elbow of the Cape. We drove around yesterday, stopping at a small fishing harbor surrounded by sand  bars. Dozens of seals hang out there, happy to make lunch from the fishermen's scraps.             

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - BOSTON ABSTRACT

Like other big, prosperous American cities, Boston seems to have tall, shiny buildings going up all over the place. We've seen it in New York, Seattle and parts of LA. When they cluster together they can create patterns that look almost cubist. (Note: you do not see this happening in St. Louis.)          

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - FOR ALL YOU OVER-CAFFEINATED SEATTLE INSOMNIACS

Come to Boston (Seaport district).

STL DPB ON THE ROAD - IT'S ALL I GOT SO FAR

Well, our friendly airline canceled the morning flight from St. Louis to Boston yesterday. Fortunately, there was space on another flight some hours later. We got to the hotel in time for a late dinner (which was very good). So this is where our trip didn't go so far.
