St. Louis was the town which marked the beginning of Lewis and
Clark's discovery, an expedition which led to the US's expansion
westward, forever changing American history.

The courageous and adventurous spirit also served as the foundation in
two American literature classic favorites: "Huckleberry Finn" and "The
Adventure of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.

Surprisingly, at present St. Louis is the home of the largest Bosniak
population in America. These Bosniaks are probably immigrants after the
end of the war in 1996.

Last year, I had this impulsive idea to travel along the route of the
Lewis & Clark's expedition from its end point in Seaside, Oregon to
its start in St. Louis, MO or to whenever point in between. Well, after
a few days trying to cool down my impulse, I realized that the journey
was too long given the limited time I had. I don't think I'll have
enough time and resources to make this trip anytime soon, but a trip to
St. Louis is possible. Obviously to relive the memory of one of the
most famous journeys in America, to behold the beloved river which
inspired Mark Twain, and finally, to test whether anyone there will
understand "Sta ima?"
