My friend Keely visited me from Norman!! She had never been up here and we really didn't do to much since she was only here from wend-sund, but we did a lot I hadn't even done!! Ha ha. I felt like I was a tourist in my city on my fall break!! Ha.
I was able to eat dinner in this rotating resturaunt in downtown on the top floor of the millenium hotel. It was soooo good and really pretty!! Plus everything I did was free because keely's mom was there for a business convention, and so they let me tag along! :) another thing we did was I ate dinner at The City Museum!! It was really cool cuz I had never eaten there! I also saw this mini circus show at the museum I had never seen, it was really good! We also went to the budweiser brewery, which I had already done but it was still fun, and of course I had my gigantic camera the whole time so I def looked like a tourist!! We also then went to the arch and got up to the top, which I hadn't done since I was little and could faintly remember it, so that was pretty cool to do again. And this was the fun part, went in search of the exorcist..
As some of u may know, The Exorcist, the movie, was based on a real exorcism that happened here in the lou! The boy got diagnosed in washington dc, but when louis appeared on his chest, his family brought him here, where he lived with his aunt in the 1950's. The scenes with the girl on the bed were actual accounts written by priests who saw things happen, and wrote it down in a journal. One of the preists are still alive, he came to webster I think. But anyway, he was possesed in his aunts house, and they had the exorcism in St. Alexius hospital and on the SLU campus. The portion of the hospital it happened was torn down, so me and keely visited a parking lot where it use to be next to the new hosptial, nothing happened. We also went to the Jesuit housing place where they housed the boy on SLU campus, but really didn't see anything there either. But when we found the house, keely took a picture of it and her camera started malfunctioning and it erased a picture she took of the house!!! So we turned around and I took pictures, without a flash on my digital, so there was no way of any reflection, and in 2 of my photos there are orbs!! Orbs found in photos mean there is a spiritual presence!!! And the color people see from the boy is green, and the orbs are green!! There is one in each picture, clear as daylight, green, and bright. Being a photographer, that's just something ur camera can't do, yes dust may appear in the picture if its in ur camera body, but not as bright circular things, and yes those could form if u use a flash and there are reflections, but I was atleast 30 ft from the house, it was night, the only lights on were in the bottom two windows, and I didn't use a flash. Its crazy!!! We were freaked out!!
But yeah, it was a fun week to stop thinking about my computer!! And to do a lot of touristy things! I have found it is a lot of fun, to get tours of things in ur own city, just because yeah u may have seen it before, but its fun to be a tourist, to act like u don't know what's what, but actually r a few steps ahead from the actual tourists. And its cheaper than traveling somehwhere else!! Sorry if this entry is long, I'm writing on my phone so I can't really tell the length!! Hope I didn't bore!!
