What little we saw of downtown St. Louis was quite nice. There were even pull-in parking spaces downtown! They had meters, but you didn’t have to parallel park.
We didn’t stay at the Marriott, but we did walk through the lobby. The hotel is in the renovated Union Station, and the lobby is absolutely breathtaking. That train station is where the famous Dewey Defeats Truman photo was taken.
Then we went to the Arch.
We climbed in a car on the tram. It’s really more of a pod.
The ride up is short and the tram makes lots of clicking noises as it rises. Once we arrived at the top, we could look out over St. Louis
and the Mississippi River, which was over the docks and sidewalk.
The top of the Arch is 630 feet above the ground.
The windows are small, and the floor is, of course, arched.
Then we drove through the Ozarks to Arkansas to look for the graves of relatives, which we found.
And then we came home.
