Total States: 14
I spent the day in Louisville with Chris and Sarah, friends from UW. Chris is attending Southern Baptist Seminary, and they actually had started classes yesterday! Now that's early. Anyhow, I kinda of worked around their schedules since Sarah had to work. After classes, Chris and I went downtown to sync up with Sarah's lunch break, and we had some delicious subs at a little hole-in-the-wall place.
Louisville waterfrontAfter that, Chris took me on a little tour of the town. As far as small cities go, Louisville has got to be one of the nicest. Its right on the Ohio river, with all sorts of waterfront open space. The downtown itself has a lot of old buildings, but is in pretty nice shape. There are some modern skyscrapers, but a lot of interesting architecture and art. Even out of the downtown area, many of the buildings ans houses are historic and very interesting to look at. We popped over the river to Indiana for a few minutes (hence the additional state in the "total states" count above), and drove by some of the major attractions, like the Louisville Slugger museum.
Downtown LouisvilleAfter Sarah got off work, we went out to dinner at an excellent Mediterranean place. When we asked what one of the sides tasted like, the guy went back and prepared a whole tasting platter with all the sides. Not bad service, there. After dinner, we went back to the apartment and Chris' twin brother (also attending the same school) dropped by, and then we played Settlers of Catan, a strategy board game that was popular with some folks back at UW.
It was a pretty short visit, but that was probably OK since they were juggling school and work at this point. it was really good to see them and make and "east coast/west coast" connection.
