USA Backpacking: Saint Louis, Missouri

Hi,
A day trip to St Louis

This was my first trip to St Louis, and I was super excited. We rented a big car and drove to Rolla to pick up a friend.

This bridge structure amaze me, so I commemorate my Static knowledge by taking a picture.


It was super windy and so unexpected, we met some friends who studied in Urbana Champange for a little reunion. We decided to waste our money $6 to be on top of Saint Louis. I couldn't say it was worth it but once in a while was okay. The escalator was an egg-shape and quite small to fit in 4 people. So beware those who is Claustrophobic.

From up there, this is the $6 view that you paid for. 


At the base of the Arch, there's a Native American museum. It was cool at first as I am a museum freak. I enjoyed taking pictures with weird animal more than anything else. Oh, and the toffee shop there too. 

lastly, here's a picture from your amateur photographer.


Fun Fact: The Gateway Arch was built as a monument for Thomas Jefferson and a memorial of St Louis involvement in Westward expansion of USA. For more information, refer to your American History textbook.
