The Arch and the Old Cathedral


I'm already sentimentally attached to the arch. It's pretty inspiring up close. Francisco objects to giant memorials, which is fair, but there's something about seeing it even from very far away.




The arch is right next to the old St. Louis Cathedral, which is one of those rare Catholic cathedrals that looks just like early American Anglican churches--clear glass windows, with a simple white interior. The cathedral in Baltimore is the only other one that I know of. 


Even the altar employs federal architecture.
