Thunder and lightening all night, but we slept well. Time to leave Louisville. We really like the city and so many things to see. Looks like a nice place to live and lots of big companies make their home here. Downtown has many Humana buildings as this is their home as well as UPS and Papa John's Pizza. Yum Corporation is the parent company of KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut and they sponsor the big sports arena in town. The University of Louisville is also in the city and has a beautiful campus and sports stadiums. And then there is Churchill Downs and many bourbon distilleries. We liked seeing the hybrid taxis, solar powered trash compactors on the streets and electric buses that are free to ride in town. One of the hotels even has a gold replica of Michaelangelo's David.
Left in the rain and crossed the Ohio River into Indiana. About five miles down the road I realized I had left my camera battery plugged into a wall socket. Back we went to retrieve it and then started our trek again. The rain cleared in a while and we passed Indianapolis, Gary and Downtown Chicago by mid afternoon. Settled into our hotel in the northern suburbs and took a a nap.
Went to our favorite place, Cheesecake Factory, for dinner and our cousins Terry and Marilyn met us there. Sat and talked for two hours or more and now time for bed.
