Reminiscent of Pike Place Market in Seattle and European markets in major cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and Munich the market near the banks of the Mississippi and in the shadow of the Arch is a wonderful place to spend a Saturday morning!
Soulard's is host to dozens of produce, flower, meat, fish, bakery and cheese vendors with several specialty stores like the one that sells fresh ground herbs, coffee beans and tea leaves. I picked up a loaf of sun-dried tomato bread, Herb de Provence goat cheese, a pint of blackberries, half a dozen peaches, a bag of BBQ pork rinds (for dad) and some fresh cherry and apple tarts.
We enjoyed a picnic breakfast in room 824 of the chemo ward and it was spectacular; mom particularly enjoyed the fresh, still warm, cherry tart. We are looking forward to a visit from mom's brother Dale and his wife Trish this afternoon and we'll probably be grazing on the leftovers from the Soulard picnic throughout the day as mom is feeling quite well under the circumstances
