2021 RETIREMENT ROAD TRIP

Missouri- Kansas

Bo here, today we went to the top of the 630’ tall Saint Louis Arch. Gateway Arch is a 630-foot monument in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. Clad in stainless steel and built in the form of a weighted catenary arch, it is the world’s tallest arch, the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere, and Missouri’s tallest accessible building.

今早起床後,走路到這次旅行我要求的景點- 聖路易斯拱門,為密蘇里州聖路易的一座紀念碑式的建築,位於密西西比河河畔,被譽為通往美國西部的大門。大拱門高192公尺,是世界上最高的拱形建築,西半球最高的紀念碑式建築,這拱門象徵美國往西發的大門。建築於1963,花了兩年半的時間完工,工程耗資一千三百萬美元。















Tram in each leg to the top of the observation area.

在展覽館看完介紹工程的電影之後,我們搭電梯上去拱門頂,上面可以看到聖路易市,還有河岸對面的伊利諾州。


















We then went to Forest Park which hosted the Worlds Fair in 1904.

之後我們去參觀這一個小溫室公園,這公園是在1904年世界展望會蓋的,我非常喜歡外面的蓮花池!



























We did not get back on the road till 3:30 in the afternoon, just enough time to make our way to the next stop in Salina KS. Salina is a little City halfway between Saint Louis MO and Denver CO. Tomorrow we continue on to Denver for a few days of biking and hiking.
