After exercising and recharging Spring Tradition’s batteries, we decided to head into Saint Louis to do some provisioning.  They moved the floating dinghy dock from last year and it is chaotic now.  Last year the dinghy dock was by itself, away from the main dock.  Now it is tied up below the main dock and there are steps leading to it.  That part is terrific.  The floating dock itself is damaged with many of the tiles smashed in.  The crazy part was that there were so many dinghies tied up to it that we couldn’t fit ours in.  We ended up three deep and had to crawl over other dinghies to get to the dock.  Luckily the water was fairly calm so we were able to do this without too much trouble.

It is about a half a mile walk to the grocery store.  It felt good to take a walk.  On the way back, we of course stopped at a local patisserie and purchased some gorgeous-looking desserts.  We tried two of them tonight and they were good.
