We surfed on sunshine from the scorching Kansas plains to the fiery furnace of Missouri. Sunday dinner with parents is always a welcome event especially for those who live far away from those who gave birth to us. We awoke Monday to blazing sunshine, humidity, and fatigue from the road. We opened the backdoor and caught the largest catfish anyone had seen in these parts. We strapped a harness on it and rode that fish down the Mighty Missip to Downtown St. Louis and the Gateway Arch, an engineering marvel.
A gleaming metal structure that explodes out of the ground and blinds visitors with a thousand glittering suns. The catfish bucked bucked at the sight, and we jumped off and straightened our duds out. We pushed tourists out of the way and boarded the tram to the top of the Arch.
A beautiful panoramic view of Downtown St. Louis and Old Man River. Tomorrow, we head out to our last stop on our trip, Nashville.
