Collinsville & the Cahokia Mounds

Sorry this is a late post. Monday May 5th was a beautiful, sunny day. Rita took us to the Cahokia Mounds near Collinsville. She made us climb up all those stairs! We were tired and so we sat on one of the signs to rest up. It was great to stand on the top of the mound and see the countryside. Rita took a picture of us with St Louis in the background. We're a little fuzzy but Ginette won't hold still, she thought Rita might throw us over the edge. Ha ha. Of course we didn't say anything about that until we were back in the parking lot.





We also went into Collinsville and took some pics of where Rita's great aunts used to live. One is an historic house that looks like they're going to renovate. Nice town.




The next day was rainy again but the storm cleared up and we took off almost on time.
