Louisville, KY - Rest Day # 4





Louisville is a beautiful city. Our hotel is in downtown, just off the Ohio River between Main and Market Streets, so we could walk or take the trolley to so many great places. The lazy rest day I had planned didn't happen--there was just too many good things to do. Louisville is the hometown of Muhammad Ali, and I admire so much his determination to succeed in the sport he loved, so I had to go see his museum. Then there was the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory--I couldn't miss that either. I saw a huge YMCA just down from the hotel, and went there to see if they had a Yoga class or a lap pool. They had both, so I swam a half hour, then went to Yoga. Oh, and I was able to squeeze in a massage and a late lunch between the museums and the swim. It was a beautiful day here, and I walked a lot, but I'm so glad I got to visit this city for a day. I would like to come back one day.
Tomorrow it's back on the bike. We'll ride 59 miles to Madison, Indiana. Margarita time, again!!
