Twins Game

On Sunday, Nick and I went to the Twins game at the Dome. We ran into a little snag on the way there - the Stone Arch Bridge was police taped off so we couldn't walk across it. We had to backtrack and take another bridge across the Mississippi to get there. Unfortunately, this caused us to miss the beginning of the game, however, we did arrive at a good time (between innings). We missed the first couple of hits but were there for the lone run scored in the game! The Twins won that game, but lost Monday and Tuesday; hopefully they get it together and beat Kansas City tonight. Currently we are 6.5 games behind Cleveland and .5 games behind Detroit; before the losses we were only 4.5 games back. Go Twins!

After the game, we were excited to see that the Stone Arch Bridge had been reopened. It was FILLED with gawkers. Being human, Nick and I did stop and take a look. You could see one pillar with some twisted green metal around it. I couldn't see any cars in the water, although there were two boats that we think were part of the rescue diving effort. In all honestly, it wasn't that interesting - there's nothing really to see. The pictures on the internet are more exciting. But the people who were there were just staring and staring. I would not have gone to the bridge for the sole point of looking at the wreckage, it is just our normal route to and from the Dome. They believe at least 8 people are still missing. I pray that their bodies are found soon to give their families some measure of peace.
