Best Western Brownsboro-Louisville East

... frazzeled nerves but othewise safely.<br><br>Taylorsville State Park is lovely. The park is very quiet and peaceful. There is not much to do there other than walk trails but the park itself is very pretty. They have 30amp service and water but no sewers. The lots are nicely spaced and it was not crowded. The bathrooms were immaculate and the staff was very friendly and courteous.<br><br>We stayed until Tuesday and next stop is Bowling Green, KY.

... the trams around the city.<br><br>Monday - day trip to Sintra<br><br>Tuesday - roam around the city some more then fly to Terceira, Azores (4 hours ahead of Louisville time).<br><br>I'll be in the Azores from 9/8 through 9/17 for work. Only thing on the agenda (other than my pesky job) for right now is a half day whale watching tour on ...

A short walk from the hotel lead us to the Louisville Convention Center and my first Kentucky Starbucks. I made it a mocha since it doubled as my breakfast. I asked the barista if they carried city mugs and he replied with a slight southern tang, "Nope. Small market."<br><br>Right.<br><br>

... s. He built an actual hotel in 1835 that was visited and praised by Charles Dickens, Jefferson Davis and 3 presidents. According to my informational magazine in the hotel (the one I'm reading in the photo...) army guys Sherman and Grant plotted a battle together in the hotel. That hotel burned to the ground and was replaced in 1869, only to be torn down in 1921. Al J ...

... as that's all i plan on taking aside from my laptop/electronic backpack...Chad in general is anxious and nervous...kind of endearing...he's never been out of the country (not even Mexico and Canada, which in my book don't count anyway)...watching his eyes open to the world...the varying languages, cultures, real European food and the history or art is what I think will be most entertaining this time around....though ...

... of good ol' southern BBQ and other comfort foods to be found as well as many German influenced foods and the traditional carnival style foods (you know... funnel cakes, hot dogs, etc.). <br><br>Besides the food on the KY side, there are live concerts and vendors selling fun toys for the kiddies (slightly over priced though, FYI). Also, the military sets up a bunch of booths with games and life-like military training activities that are kind of the easy version of what they have to go ...

... what these may lack in height, the make up for in depth. The valleys and gorges that lie in between the mountains are deep, providing a magnificent contrast in colors and textures. Trees cover the sides of the mountains in a patchwork quilt of greens. Then, in the valleys between, there are rivers or small farms or just another layout of greens. Every time we curved around a mountain we were treated to another postcard view of beauty. <br><br ...

Oh the wonders of nature and nature-stream restoration projects I volunteer on. Bernheim offers an abundance of programs for schools and families that educate and allow you to help conserve some nature! <br><br>Also, this park has many, many hiking trails. Yay hiking! We all know how much I love that. :)<br>

... a week. But if you go after 8PM be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes to get a table. It's totally worth it between the food, hookah, and atmosphere. <br><br>Wicks Pizza: Louisville's best pizza place. L-ville has a lot of pizzaria's. But wicks is the best. Nice big portions, with amazing ingredients. Plus, reasonably priced! I highly suggest it.<br>

After just two days in St Louis we suddenly decided to leave. Next was Louisville. Mostly because it's in kentucky and who doesn't want to go to Kentucky. We wanted to and we did. Lonely planet together with the almighty GPS took us to a decent vietnamese restaurant, and that's about how good it got in Louisville. The motel was pricey, but I'm sure their total budget for ...
