... most respectable looking, although as I said to Morry and Maya, men in suits would have been equally disturbing, but let's just say we were glad it was not nighttime. I don't think we would have felt particularly safe and we were all relieved to have happened upon such a neighbourhood in the daylight.

... totally my ideas.
After completing our snowman and taking some snaps, we said goodbye and went to the Arch. Attached to it is a free army museum which contains uniforms, weapons, tanks and planes and gives free entry to a panaromic viewing platform atop the Arch itself.
