Day 6 – Woke up today and headed towards the St. Louis Arch, the worst place on earth for someone scared of heights like me. 600+ feet high with nothing under you. People kept asking “can you feel it move?” I pretended not to think about and stayed firmly attached to a post or structural support whenever possible. Dave and Jim laughed at me and took pictures of me as I looked frightened and kneeled on the ground. The windows allow you to look straight down, but I’ll just take everyone’s word that it was impressive. I’ll admit, the whole thing was pretty cool, but still way scary. Next we backtracked in order to see the world’s largest bottle of ketchup and then the statue and museum dedicated to the world’s tallest man. This is fitting since we are still impersonating the world’s tallest woman. After the sightseeing was done, we realized we were way behind schedule and running very late. There were tons of nasty thunderstorms in Oklahoma which further delayed our progress. There was a very cool lightning storm over Tulsa though. We got to the club/record store about 90 minutes late and they said we were too late to play but we could come back tomorrow. That was fine since we were planning on staying in Ok City for 2 nights already. So we hung out with Lisa and Mike which was probably more fun than sweating in a little store.
