We got to the arch and the real star at the arch was the height of the Mussissippi river. \u00a0We were planning to park on a parking lot along side the river. \u00a0We got there and it was underwater. \u00a0We actually had to park in a towaway zone with everyone else because there was no other parking. \u00a0We walked around the grounds arpund the arch. \u00a0We also contacted Ben. \u00a0We knew he was coming to St Louis but we werent sure when. \u00a0Turns out he flys in the Sunday at 1 pm. \u00a0So we decided to stay another day in St Louis and spend Sunday afternoon with him. \u00a0Found found a Great RV park locted pretty much downtown St Louis. \u00a0As soon as we pulled up to the office door of the rv park it started to rain again. \u00a0We got our spot and it rained and lightning the whole night again. \u00a0Miraculously the rain stopped the next day at 1pm just an hourbefore Ben showed up. \u00a0He got there at 2 pm and we were off to some bbq joint he had been to when he was in St Louis begore. \u00a0The Uber driver was wonderful and gave us a tour. \u00a0The area around the restaurant was very run down. \u00a0It was amazing that there were these BEAUTIFUL old homes which had been abandonded for years. \u00a0It was heartbreaking to see these beautiful homes going to wadte like that. \u00a0The bbq restaurant was amazing and after the meal we walked some of the neighborhoods around the redtaurant and caught the metro to the rv park. \u00a0We took ben to his airbnb and had a late snack before hugs and it was time for us to move on down the road amd Nem get ready for a week of visiting the St Louis Federal Reserve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
