We are near St. Louis to sightsee, however, the campground is across the Mississippi River in Illinois. The weather has been wild, under tornado watch at Topeka and now here in St. Louis. When the warning sirens blow the drill is to leave the coach and gather at the campground office to wait out the weather. So far no problems and yesterday the weather cleared during daylight hours and we were able to see the sights. We found a trolley tour to view the highlights of the town, great way to see everything fast. We enjoyed our tour of the Budweiser Brewing plant, very well done.... good beer, too!
Of course the must stunning sight in St. Louis is the Arch, so huge, 600 feet tall and 600 feet wide. So big I couldn't get a pic of it with my cell phone. The pic Jack is holding is our prize we won on the trolley tour for catching the driver in a tall tale. One can ride to the top of the Arch for the view but I was chicken because it is so tall, why doesn't it just fall over? The Mississippi River is very full, hundreds of tourist parking spots along the river under water.
