Louisville

Louisville KY situated on the Ohio River and famous for a horse race.

I didn’t make it to the Races but did get stop at the Speed Museum which surprisingly had nothing to do with Horse Racing or NASCAR but did have a hauntingly beautiful statue of a Blind Woman Listening.

And while I didn’t go to see the horses run for the roses I did run into a couple of Painted Ponies on Main Street.

Eternal childhood survives at the Louisville Slugger Factory tour in downtown Louisville. You get to see and smell the bats being made. Ahh

Around the block is Glassworks with several glass design firms and open viewing of artists at work.

The Jazz Factory next door is a very nice club.

I couldn’t take pictures of the Muhammad Ali Museum but if you have the time and interest you can watch videos of his major bouts. It's certainly the greatest boxing museum I have seen but the clips and stories from rest of his life were even more interesting. Float like a butterfly sting like a bee was more about him then just his boxing.

The Ohio River looks better in the old frontier movies than it did on this cloudy day.

Next stop Mammoth Cave

Or return to Kentucky
