The Belle of Louisville

Today is my first full day in Louisville - and I managed to navigate my way through the downtown area without getting lost. The destination was the Belle of Louisville, a 2-hour boat ride on the Ohio River between KY (its getting kind of old that you're still laughing at this) and IN (hint...the state name sounds just like shmim-dee-anna) that included a full service buffet meal. There was also a limbo contest that of course I would have won if I had participated, but I decided to let all the kids on the boat have a little fun.

On another note, I found a free weekend parking deck...which I'm a little proud of because everyone that went on the boat from my new office ended up paying for where they parked.

Anyways...a couple of pics from my trip - including a very nice one that I'm sure all those friends of mine in Montana and South Dakota will enjoy. More from KY (ugh) soon...



The Belle of Louisville herself. In the background, some water that I think is the Ohio River - but I didn't have a map when I took this photo so it could have very well been the Baltic Sea.

One view of a portion of Downtown Louisville from the boat.

A more complete view of Downtown Louisville - also from the boat.

A picture of an airplane from some airline that has a geographic reference about the Southwest on its tail. I hear they go everywhere in the country - but I also think the airline name is really... No-Way-in-Heck-Will-I-Land-in-Montan-aor-South-Dakota Air
