The Arch in Saint Louis, Missouri. The Gateway to the West

Kathy is very frightened of heights and was adamant about NOT taking the ride to the top of the arch.  Once she saw a video on how the enclosed cars go to the top and how safe it was to look out the windows, she agreed to go to the top.  All was well and we both enjoyed it.

Elder Al and Sister Kathy at the top of Arch.  We made it. The video presentation of the step by step building of the Arch is what was most frightening.  That is the only time that Kathy felt queasy.
