Arch Deluxe
04 Jan 2024 - Camilla Nelson and Steve NelsonWe drove through St. Louis from Iowa to Mt. Vernon, IL.
Camilla didn’t say this on the trip, but she said it:
The arch is so beautiful in the distance.

We stayed at the DoubleTree which we had stayed at in the past, but, this time we realized that it is a dump.
We remembered that last time it was cheap, had a nice pool, large rooms with balconies with couches overlooking the lobby, but was a bit dark.
This time we noticed that the darkness was hiding the fact that it was very dirty. Also, this time we found that the hot tub was polluted by bodily fluids – the water was very green in color and had brown floating suds. ;p
It is better to forget that experience and remember the beautiful arch we drove past earlier in the day. Some day maybe I can convince Linda and Camilla to stop and see it up close. That hasn”t happened… yet.
We were planning to drive ten hours tomorrow, but we delayed.
