Thursday, November 29, 2018:
Mark and Paula
found themselves in St. Louis, MO. They learned the Gateway Arch is taller than many other notable buildings, so they decided to check it out. |
|
 |
|
They traveled up in a small elevator and found people looking out from
the top of the arch. |
 |
|
The Mississippi River side as seen from the arch. |
 |
|
Barges were being pushed upstream. |
 |
|
Some 630 feet below, two riverboats wait to take passengers out on the river. |
 |
|
The city side of the arch. |
 |
|
Busch Stadium, home of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team. |
 |
|
The light was fading as cars were heading into and out of the city. |
 |
|
An exhibit told the story of the building of the arch from 1963 to 1965. A
real engineering effort. |
 |
| St. Louis at night. |
Quote of the day:
All a part of our road trip. Stay tuned. Mark
