Another leisurely activity planned by SIUC for us was a trip to Ste. Genevieve. The town is, to say the least, absolutely charming. Who doesn't want to be reminded of picturesque Paris combined with old Coca-Cola novelty pieces and pop arts? Did I mention the pin-up girls, vintage ice cream (store) and really cheap coffee? What did I tell you, CHARMING.
Such a cute counter/register. I wasn't able to buy ice cream 'cause I was too diet-conscious, but they said it was hella good.
Coca-cola craaaaze.
Also, I got to wear my hat here (and get away with it) because in the Philippines, if you wear any head dress other than a cap (baseball, rapper) or a bonnet/beanie in urban public, you're gonna get some strange stares. Well, in Ste. Genevieve, there were very few people walking around and it was hot! I needed the hat. Plus, it's America. To each his/her (fashion statement) own. Riiiight?
So, these photos are me trying to look French Fab.
Faisal Hassan took this photo from across the street. ;)
Self-Timer!!!
Self-Timer again. teeheehee
The last two photos, I took in front of this beautiful Roman Catholic church with a magnificent steeple.
It was so high, the church, and sadly, I wasn't able to take a photo of the whole church. I did take some other photos of charming Ste. Genevieve.
Lyons Park (?) Cute name and cute park. :)
