We spend most of today downtown! Which I always love because it is full of new and exciting things! We went to Union Station in the afternoon. Union Station use to be the main train station in St Louis a long time ago, and they have now turned it into a mall, hotel, and a mini museum. It is really neat on the outside, they have left all of the original structure/architecture which gives it this really old 20's(or whatever decade it was built in) feel!! They also have a little area where you could rent paddle boats, and feed the enormous gold fish! After we were done exploring that we decided that we would treat our self to Hard Rock cafe (neither me or mike had ever eaten there). It of course had a really cool atmosphere and the food was pretty good too!
After lunch we then went down to Forest Park. They where doing a Shakespeare festival and that night they were going to be performing The Merry Wives of Windsor. It started at 8 but we got there way early (530) because we wanted good seats! We walked around the park for a bit while we waited and boy oh boy is it a nice park! Finally it was show time! It was very well done, I just wish I had been more familiar with the play, that way I could have sat back and enjoyed it instead of trying to piece everything together. But it was still a lot of fun! The only down side of the whole thing was that a spider some how crawled up on my hand which was gross, but thankfully it was small so I didnt make too much of a scene!

i completely know what you mean about the shakespeare thing... unless i've read it, it takes a LOT of thinking for me to be able to follow what's going on onstage. that's so fun that you got to do that though!
