St. Charles is located on the Missouri river on the eastern side of the state of Missouri. It is just west of the St. Louis area. St. Charles served as the first capitol of the state of Missouri from 1821-1826. Today the main street area is a popular tourist attraction with lots of shops and restaurants. They go all out for Christmas with lots of decoration throughout the historic area.
Our group spent a couple of hours wandering through the area with our cameras and stopping to take photos of anything we found interesting. We then stopped at a restaurant to enjoy some time together reviewing our morning and discussing photography. It was a great way to relax and meet new friends.

An interesting building we stopped at just off Main street was a reproduction of the first church in St. Charles. The first church was a Catholic church built in 1791 called San Carlos Borromeo. The reproduction was done using the same type tools as the original.
I took nearly 200 photos during the morning. Here are a few of my favorites.
Shops along Main Street. I love the cobblestone streets and walks.
An old sleigh, decorated and sitting on a door stoop.
A wreath on a brick wall.
