Leaving Louisville

We discovered this morning that the jug band jubilee was not going to start until later in the day, so we decided to go on up to Madison.  Pam enjoys walking through the hysterical districts of old towns and since Madison has the largest hysterical district in Indiana (over 2000 structures on the National Register of hysterical places) I thought we should get right on it.  We arrived about 5, and walked into town to a bar called Shipley's Tavern.  It's a small hole-in-the-wall spot that I would have enjoyed more back when I was drinking.  They have great burgers, but someone kept playing the same song on the jukebox over and over.  Jay and the Americans--This Magic Moment. 

We enjoyed dinner and visiting with Ty and Fran last night.

However, when we returned from dinner, we found that some imposter had docked in the slip next us.

 

The riverfront park in Louisville is very nice.  Lots of kids play areas including this spray park that gives a whole new meaning to fish sticks.

The U of L rowing team has a cool facility in the park.

They were out early this morning

 The restrooms in the park remind me of a spot I did 30 days in solitary.

As we were leaving, we saw the Belle out on a cruise.

The trip up to Madison was scenic.................

the beauty

 And the beast

 

We're staying in the River Crest Marina about a mile west of hysteric downtown Madison.  From the looks of it, it must have been built while the river was cresting.  It's a long walk up those ramps.
