点评:We decided to make a quick stop while driving from St. Louis to Kansas City. St. Charles is fairly close to St. Louis so we pulled off the interstate and drove into the historic district.
It is a well maintained multi block series of older buildings that is well decorated. The Mississippi River is about a block or two east of the main street and parking is available between the river and the main street.
We visited the Visitor's Center which does have public bathrooms and is adjacent to the old state capital building.
Unfortunately for us, we arrived before most stores were open and well before lunch time so our tour was primarily a short walk and drive thru the district. The shops were attractive and restaurants appeared inviting. With hindsight, we wish we had timed our visit better and allowed a few hours including having a meal
翻译:我们决定在从圣路易斯开车去堪萨斯城的途中短暂停留。圣查尔斯离圣路易斯相当近,所以我们下了州际公路,开车去了历史街区。
历史街区由一系列维护良好的老建筑组成,这些建筑分布在多个街区,装饰精美。密西西比河位于主街以东一两个街区,在河流和主街之间可以停车。
我们参观了游客中心,那里有公共卫生间,毗邻旧州议会大厦。
不幸的是,我们到达时大多数商店都还没开门,而且也远在午餐时间之前,所以我们的行程主要是步行和开车穿过街区。商店很吸引人,餐馆也很诱人。事后看来,我们真希望我们能更好地安排行程,留出几个小时,包括用餐时间。
