Our trip to the Arch

The train ride into St. Louis was almost as much fun and definitely as exciting as going up into the Arch! It was pouring rain when we got there and we had to walk about 1/4 mile, so we got enough shower to last us a dozen days or so! But OH so worth it!

Tia Elena (Aunt Elaine) and Elia "enjoying" the ride up! The next photo shows the tiny car we were sitting it, so maybe you can understand Elia's apprehension!



We rode up, up, up in this tiny "car". Some of us (I won't name any names) were a little frightened! It made a lot of scary noises and clumped and clamped a lot, but we made it fine!

It was exciting - and scary - to peek out the windows and look over the harbor.
Wow! We're high up!

Beth, I also went up the arch December 2006, when a bunch of us from CAM were in St. Louis for the Urbana missions conference. Those little cars are fun!
