Today, we left the Super 8 motel after eating breakfast, and started on our way to St. Louis.  The drive wasn't too bad, and the view of the city and Arch is immediately seen when arriving in the city.   We managed to park about an hour before the game started.  The sea of Red could be seen from blocks away, and it was evident that cards fans are very proud.  Busch is one of the newest stadiums we will see, and also one of the nicest.  The entire facade is red brick, and the stadium has a very classy feel to it.  There are a bunch of statues dedicated to some of the Cardinal greats, including a huge one of Stan the Man.

Once inside, Busch was teeming with pregame entertainment, as the fans come early to games.  We even got free popsicles!  We went upstairs and sat behind home plate for a view innings before moving down to get a closer look on the third base line.  Pujols hit two of the four home runs, and Cards pitching managed to hold the Angels off later in the game.  The game ended, but not before some rain fell; we were again lucky to avoid a rain out!

Afterwards, we went towards the Gateway Arch.  We entered small trams that resembled spaceships, and went to the top of the arch.  The view was great, but we were glad to leave after just a small visit, as it was pretty cramped up there!  We went to a small park which had a great view of the arch, and a fountain with pink water!  After getting some dinner, we headed off to meet some Lambda Chi Alpha brothers from the St. Louis College of Pharmacy chapter.  They were extremely hospitable, and showed us a great time.  We are heading out to dinner right now with two guys we met, Nick Dryer and Chris Koentz, and then out to St. Louis for the night!  See you tomorrow at Kaufman Field in Kansas City!
