Quote of the Day:	Didi & Ian on the bus! Our Ferry Boat - the Tom Sawyer. Riding the Ferry on the mighty Mississippi! Lee Daniel and Trent on the Tom Sawyer On the ferry boat ride. A view of the St. Louis Arch from the Mississippi River. This is the tram car that takes sight-seers up to the top of the St. Louis Arch. Looking out the window at 630 feet above the ground level. In the Museum at the St. Louis Arch. On our way back to the bus.  It was fun to run down this long staircase. Erin shows us one of her many talents at dinner at the Cracker Barrel in Caseyville, Illinois.	Journal Entry: We began our day early, loading the bus for our travels to the St. Louis Arch and our Ferry Boat Ride on the Mississippi. We spent most of the morning on the bus, had time for our bus devotions, and some time of silence to reflect on our theme for the day and our NYC experiences. We arrived at the St. Louis area around 3:00 p.m. Loaded up for our Ferry boat ride and enjoyed seeing some of the sights along St. Louis, including the St. Louis Arch. Later on that evening, we had the opportunity to travel up into the Arch via our tram capsule.  It was a noisy ride, but we all made it up and down safely.  What a view!! On a clear day you can see 30 miles.  It wasn't quite that clear for us, but we could still see a long way.
