Senior Adult Choir Tour 2011 Day Three

Day three of our tour was set aside to be 100% sightseeing and touring Louisville sites.  We began the day with a three stop "Landmarks" tour, which included visits at the Louisville Slugger Museum, a ride on the Spirit of Jefferson riverboat, and a visit to the Glassworks Art Gallery.  Aside from the perils of navigating our large church bus through the busy downtown and riverfront areas in Louisville (which our driver Sam has done a fantastic job with), it was a very relaxing and pleasant day.  Then after a few hours of free time in the afternoon, we ate dinner at one of my favorite Louisville restaurants, W. W. Cousins, which is sort of a Fuddruckers-type burger joint with a topping bar.  Yummy.  During our free time at the seminary before dinner, I was personally able to walk around the halls of what was the music wing and walked through Norton Hall and the new Pavilion area and chapel connected to it.  Those new additions look great.  I got a surprise phone call from a seminary classmate who still works at the seminary and lives in the area, and we had a god chat.  At dinner, I was surprised to meet with two dear friends from the church I served in Louisville who had made a big impact on my life.  After this day, I was glad to be able to return to the room early to hopefully get in bed sooner than normal in order to prepare for our departure early in the morning.
