Belle of Louisville (before her accident)Friday we made the trip from Madison to Louisville. The docks right next to Tumbleweeds, are free and have 30 or 50 amp electric service. Shortly after we arrived, the police came down to welcome us and gave us some literature. Louisville's waterfront is wonderful. There are parks, walking trails, grills and picnic tables. They are building a bicycle/pedestrian bridge across an unused railroad bridge. There was a band right up on the hill behind our boat on Saturday morning. We took pictures of the Belle of Louisville on our way to our dock.
Saturday morning we walked into downtown and ate breakfast at a Coffee Shop. Ed & Kyle, and Donna & Dave came to visit us. We had happy hour at Tumbleweeds. While we were sitting there, a blurb came across the bottom of the TV screen that said the Belle of Louisville had been involved in an accident and was being towed back in. Later that night, we heard on the news that she hit a parked barge while turning around in the river and damaged the paddlewheel. They said the boat will be out of commission until spring.
Saturday night we went to King Fish on the Indiana side for dinner with Donna and Dave, and Ed and Kyle. We hugged Dave and Donna good-bye after dinner because they will be leaving early in the morning as they have tickets to the Bengal's game.
Sunday morning was a real treat. Donna Huber had recommended this restaurant called Lynn's in downtown Louisville. Lynn's was certainly something to see. The decor was unusual , to say the least. Very eclectic. The food was good, the company was better. After breakfast, Ed & Kyle left for home. It was so nice of our friends to come to visit us for the weekend before we continue on down towards Florida. We will definitely miss them.
After they left, we moved our boats, over to the Indiana side of the river to the Kentuckiana slips in preparation for them to work on our boat on Monday. We certainly hope the repairs go smoothly and quickly as we are anxious to get underway. It is great to have the Lutis along for a few more days. We really enjoy thier company and we always have a good time.

Sounds like fun. You are now in the same town as my friend from grad school, Molly. Say hi if you see her :). She is 5 weeks from her due date with her third.
Here We're trying to get the scanning to work so you can get three bills and a couple of pictures. One of Clara and one by Clara. We'll keep you posted.
We do miss you and are jealous of the carefree life you get to have now! Good luck finishing up the repairs.
