Today Jim and I took a break from holiday preparation to do the Lafayette Square Holiday Parlor Tour. I discovered it while researching things to do with our out-of-town quests who will be visiting over Christmas. It's too bad the timing couldn't have been better, because today's tour would have been a great activity for them.
I suppose it's a shame we don't take better advantage of what our own city has to offer. Truth is, we rarely go downtown and, when we do, it's typically just for a baseball game or to visit the zoo. Maybe acting as tour guides this holiday will spur us to continue to discover more of what St. Louis has to offer.
(As a side note, today I learned the hard way that the socks I purchased for touring Ireland were well worth their $17 price tag. I foolishly didn't wear them for today's walking tour and my bunion is aching. I had no problem walking, with the same shoes, all day in Ireland. It had to be the socks.)
