I woke up this morning worried about the trip UP the St. Louis Arch and I had good reason. Check this out....
If you look real close, you can see windows at the top. We looked out those windows !!
These are the pods you crawl into and travel in to get to the top and back to the bottom. Five persons to a pod and they are tight, about 4X4 feet square and they turn as they travel through the arch. It's unnerving and definitely, definitely not for anyone with claustrophobia !
How I traveled !
St.Louis view out the west windows ! Spectacular !
Boats in the Mississippi, seen from the east side windows.
Linda and Henry at the tippy-top !
Joe and I at the tippy-top !
CATSUP BOTTLE WATER TOWER
Joe read that a nearby town had turned one of their water towers into a catsup bottle. This we had to see and we found it...in Cartersville, Illinois ! So, where's the mustard?
Tomorrow morning we say good-bye to Linda and Henry ! They are heading home a week early and Joe and I are very sad about that....we have had so much fun together it will such a void without them ! Today was a day where we all reflected on the many, many special moments of our trip...its been a wonderful ride for all of us ! xxoo TML
