Beer, shopping, and hockey

Here we are, at the brewery...post-tour watering hole. This was actually my second time visiting Anheuser-Busch and I have to say, it is one of the highlights of St. Louis. Plus, got to see 3 places listed on the National Historic Register, which fits in quite nicely with what we've been studying these past couple of days in Cultural Resources Management.

That was Saturday afternoon. Saturday morning was spent working on taking the Myers-Briggs test (I'm a ISFJ!), our book review, and starting up our HOBB (home office back brief). Saturday night we went to dinner at Lombardo's, a really good Italian place (but be warned...if you order appetizers and a salad, you won't be able to eat your main course!!). We had a pretty good storm roll through the city last night; I hear we didn't get much rain back home in LR!

Sunday was a day of sleeping in, shopping, and hockey! Oh, and also catching up back home with all the phone calls--I have to say thanks to Cat, Andrea, Cherilyn, and Karyn...you guys rock and thanks for calling!! I must say, I had a grand time shopping today with our course facilitator, Judy Morrison; most of you know that I don't like shopping, but at least this experience was enjoyable. I was able to get some really good buys at Eddie Bauer, the one store I would max a credit card out if ever given the opportunity.

The hockey game was a great time too--my first professional hockey game! I hate to say it, but the Blues lost (to a really good team, though--the Red Wings). No big fights and really no bloodshed, so maybe in the rabid-hockey-fan world, it wasn't such a great game. I had fun, though, and would go again if I had the chance.

Tomorrow we're off to Cahokia, one of the oldest settlements/burial sites in North America. It's our first field trip and I'm looking forward to actually spending some time out of this hotel! We should have good weather for it too.

Well, that's about it for now. Gotta get some sleep. Take care all and talk with everyone soon!
