We crossed the Illinois, the Mississippi, and the Missouri Rivers on our travels, arrived in St. Louis and after a very long walk and a hundred stairs or more from the parking to the arch I got a wheelchair for dad to go through the museum. He is always an uncomplaining persevering man but it wasn’t the easiest access. The St. Louis arch is an engineering marvel! The museum was excellent (but I had been spoiled by the Lincoln one). It told the history of St. Louis with lots of wonderful displays highlighting Indian days, Lewis and Clark exploration, fur trappers, riverfront and steamboats, a great fire, etc. We enjoyed it. That evening we went to the St. Louis temple. It was good to be back in familiar territory- it felt like a long time since we’d been in the temple (5 days). But it has been good to have a little break especially for dad. I love traveling- you learn things everywhere you go!
