St Louis: Home of Budweiser & the Cardinals!!!
















After our busy week we decided to head to St Louis for the weekend and catch up with Dave Cussons, another Australian Nuffield Scholar also travelling through the midwest. While Bruce spent some time working I walked down to the Mississippi River & Gateway Arch. Friday night we had dinner at Charlie Gitto's, a local Italian restaurant, famous for the St Louis speciality, toasted ravioli (ravioli crumbed & then deep fried - was quite delicious!).Saturday was lots of fun - we spent the afternoon looking through the Budweiser Brewery (Anheuser-Busch Brewery) & then managed to see the Cardinals play Arizona. Seeing the Cardinals was heaps of fun - so much more atmosphere than our sports at home & the fans just live their sport. Hopefully we'll try and catch some more games before our trip is over.
