today is 12th(im not sure) day of studying trip in UMSL, and it is also first rainy day

butttttt we had a lot of fun things today.

we got into a train at 9:00 am from our dorms' station to gateway arch station.

this is the picture of gateway arch and group D's picture.

the last three pictures are the views from the gateway arch

the other side of the mississippi river is Illinois

Gateway Arch, also known as the Gateway to the West, is an integral part of Jeffrson National Expansion Memorial and the conic image of St.Louis Missouri. It stands 190m tall and is 190m wide at its base, making it the tallest monument in the United States.

anyway it is the most huge and beautiful monument that I have ever seen.

After that we went to Spaghetti factory, it is very old fasioned and the wairless is sooooooooooo cute.

alk. it was too beautiful that I forgot to take picture.

we took a nap then for supper we had pizza(all you can eat)
