St Louis

I have these photos in backwards order so bare with me.
First I want to say that the Quilt Museum in Paducah was wonderful. You can't take photos because of copyright issues so I don't have anything to share here. The word museum is a bit of a misnomer since their oldest quilt is 20 years old, but awesome quilts none the less.

We left Kentucky, on thru Illinois to St Louis. This morning we went to see the Cahokia Mounds. It is the largest prehistoric Indian site north of Mexico. Nice museum and grounds. Someone important was probably buried in this mound.


Last evening we went to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Here is a photo from the top, 630 feet high. We rode a tram to the top (inside the arch).



This morning in the daylight I took this as we were leaving town. Nice puffy clouds. We were concerned about weather today. We were suppose to get into thunder showers on the way to Kansas City but were fortunate to miss the storm. Tonight we are in St Joseph MO. More about that tomorrow. +589=6395
