Right now we are in St. Louis staying with our friends Sam and Rachel Voth Schrag. Sam is a Pastor at the local Mennonite church, and Rachel is a MSW student at Washington University. We ate sushi and played Settler's of Catan. It was a nice domestic end to our pre-walk time.
We have enjoyed the last week of preparation. I'm anticipating that the break in period will be a painful, yet enjoyable experience. We start tomorrow tomorrow about 8:00am at the Katy Trail trail head just outside of St. Louis.

My parent's drove us out to St Louis today with their dog Hanna in tow, and we arrived at the house of my friends Rachel and Sam early this evening. It's nice to start the walk after visiting with old friends! We took some pictures by the St Louis Arch and watched Hanna play in the sand on the banks of the Mississippi River.
It's hard to believe we're starting tomorrow, but I'm sure it will be real enough after 15 miles tomorrow!

heidi & Matt,
Enjoy this time, but don't rush. Listen to your bodies and follow accordingly! I bet the fall colors along the Katy are gorgeous, or will be shortly. Take lots of pictures. Looking forward to your stories! Mom
awww...you two sound like an old married couple!! Very cute. Heidi--hopefully your feet will get used to all the walking soon and stop blistering! Is it still summer-ish weather there or does it feel like fall?
thinking of you both--kristen
