We enjoyed a gourmet breakfast during a morning thunderstorm in St. Louis, then headed down to the Arch and other sites downtown. We went to the top of the Arch, which was thrilling and a bit terrifying, after watching the documentary on how the Arch was contructed 45 years ago.
We tried to go to the Zoo, but Forest Park was so crowded, we figured we had a 2 mile walk just to get there from available parking, so we had to skip the zoo this time. The River was overflowing its banks after a series of storms northward, but we did walk across much of it on a bike/ped path made from the old highway, saved from the wrecking ball a few years ago. One major landmark we drove past quite by accident, was the world's largest Amoco sign--pretty cool.
No baseball today, as we headed into Illinois. We did stop for dinner at an historic restaurant in Litchfield, owned by 3 generations of the same family. We also drove by Lincoln Land Community College, a team that comes to Florida in the spring to play baseball--and one that Mark got the win against last year!
