Greetings! We had a whirlwind trip through Kentucky over the
weekend. It was grand on all counts. Saturday morning I shot out at the break
of dawn for a daily run. Oddly, I
managed to cross three city limit signs (Louisville, Forest Hills and
Hurstbourne Acres) in less than five minutes. The temperature hung in the mid
70s as I milled around enjoying the lovely morning. Birds sang and I was filled
with great anticipation of a full day of tourist activities. After the 4 mile run I joined for a Shannan
for a 1 mile walk in the retail area close to the hotel.
Along the walk we discussed the many of the attractions of
KY including the Abraham Lincoln birth home, the famous Louisville Slugger Baseball
Bat and Bluegrass music. In addition to those things we planned to learn more
about KY Bourbon at the Evan Williams Experience, and tour the Muhammad Ali
Center. The latter half of our day
visited the somewhat controversial Creation Museum http://creationmuseum.org/
and its newly opened and equally provocative sister site, Ark Encounter https://arkencounter.com/.
We ended the day with a stop in a Kentucky Fried Chicken.
We’d visited the original location and museum many years ago. However, it just
didn’t feel right to be in the state that made Colonel Sanders famous without a
paying homage at a local restaurant.
See Interesting Places. Run.
Tom
