Gateway Arch National Park and the St. Louis Arch, Missouri: Travels in the USA

(Travelogues--Travels in the USA)



This is video of the Saint Louis Arch, and some of the surrounding area.  Our guide told us that the surrounding area and the arch had been designated as one national park--Gateway Arch National Park.  We took a guided tour of this area, and because I didn't want to be rude to the guide, I wasn't filming through most of the tour, but I did get some footage of the Old Courthouse (where the Dred Scott case happened).  It was crowded at the Saint Louis arch, and I was busy watching my kids, but I got some footage from inside, and filmed the cable car ride going up.  And then we also filmed some of the park underneath the arch once we got down.

Saint Louis Zoo, St. Louis, Missouri: Travels in the USA

(Travelogues--Travels in the USA)



The Saint Louis Zoo was absolutely packed with people, and so, in order to minimize filming strangers without their permission, I did my best to try to aim my camera only at the animals and not at the people.  The result is that I wasn't really able to document the overall look of the zoo and the walkways, but hopefully this gives some sort of taste of what the zoo is like.
