This morning we headed to downtown Louisville to do the Border Crossing Volkssport walk. Had I realized it was 12K I probably would not have had Maria drop off Foxy and Kitty to come along. We shaved a bit off, but it was still about 6 miles.
In Louisville one bridge is under construction, so they are down to one bridge. To get to the YMCA logic would indicate using I65. But that's right in the heart of the chaos. We took I64 and the longer route. Avoided all of the traffic.
After signing in at the YMCA we headed off with the children reading the
instructions. When we arrived at Main Street, we cut off the loop that
went down to the Slugger museum and back. 1K gone. We headed up the
Belvider thru the fountain, and up to the river walk. Then down the
stairs and thru River Park and the wharf. I was at least a mile thru the
park to the pedestrian bridge. The children were tiring so we took a
break in the park. Then before heading up the ramp to the bridge, we
rain thru the water sprinklers. That, and the breeze, cooled us off.
Then it was over the bridge to Indiana, and back. We stopped at the
same park for ice cream from the truck. Then headed back to the car. It
was a good mile and a half away.
In the car the
children were talking about a troll restaurant. But didn't know the
name. We ended up at O'Charleys near Barb's house. I looked it up online
when we got back—We walked past it within a half block. Crap. It
sounded cool.
Next Volkssport walk is Friday, maybe. In Frankfort.
Tomorrow will be spent on a short walk, then doing some running around with Barb.
Oh, in case you are curious, Bonnie was attacked last night by her father's dresser. Aparrently it was hungry.
