No, this is not Europe

All good things must come to an end, and on Friday, Bob once again loaded up the car and we headed East. To break up the trip and to get us out and walk about we made two stops - Ft Leonard Woods Museum and the Cathedral Basilica of St Louis.
At Ft Leonard Wood we saw part of the Berlin Wall, and in St Louis we walked around in wonder at the amazing mosaics of this cathedral, had it not been for the car being parked right outside, we certainly would have thought we were inside a European cathedral. According to the docent, this cathedral has more mosaics, 41.5 million, than any European counterpart. It surely rivals many European cathedrals in splendor and beauty.
