Day Eleven: St. Louis

Today we walked the mile to wait in line to up in the Gateway Arch. The weather was a little misty but not bad at all. 

Because I'm a cripple we were able to take the closest tram so slightly less stairs. Guess there's some benefit of having an injured knee. 

The view of the city of St Louisiana on one side of the arch. 

On the other side you've got te Mississippi River.  Walt was a little nervous looking out over the edge through the window. I was more nervous on the 4min rose up the team. We were packed in 5 people per cart. 

After finishing up our morning at the arch we went to the old courthouse to admire the architecture and watch how the arch was built. 
Then we had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe near our hotel.  Successful day overall minus the afternoon of a killer cab driver. Missouri Stops are worse than California Stops. :/
Tomorrow we are off to Chicago to start our adventure of Book Wxpo America. I'll link up the next 3 days of our trip to my book blog since that's where BEA updates will be. This weekend will be tourist days as well. 

TTFN,
Ashley
