The Gateway Arch - St Louis

Today we went to look at the Gateway Arch, Set in a beautiful Park, in what is otherwise a fairly unexeciting city centre
It is quite beautiful, but what I didn't know was you go up inside it to the high point of the Arch, hard to believe when you look at
this picture
How do you get up there, well you squeeze into a small capsule, (sorry Bryan) and it shoots you up to the top, it is actually much bigger than this photo suggests!
This is what you can see, well you can see lots more too.
Its true and here is the evidence, 608 feet up. The little window behind Armando is what you look through

And this is what the capsule looks like, you don't want to be leery about confined spaces, but the four of us fitted in ok
