How do YOU pronounce Louisville?!

Greeting from Louisville, Kentucky!

It is 11:02 am and I am now in Kentucky!

So, last time I wrote you all, I was sitting at the Frothy Monkey coffee house in Nashville. I spent some time just relaxing and people watching for a while. After that I decided to go explore the heart of the city and take some photos. After another day of exploring I was one tired girl so around 5pm I decided to take about an hour and a half nap in the back of my car. ha! I knew I had to if I was going to do more exploring at night.

Around 7pm I went to Laura & Phil's house to join them for their community group. (I met them the first day I was here at the Belmont church in Nashville). Such a sweet couple! Group was really great although I wish I was able to get to know the people there a bit better. The group is doing a video/discussion series so much of the time was spent watching the video and then a little bit of discussion.

Around 9pm I met up with some friends I met at Fido, the coffee house I was at on Monday. My new friend George, who has worked at Fido for about 8 years thought I needed to see some music while I was in town, and I agreed! George is a very talented musician, and is in a band called The Early Evening with his brother. Their music is beautiful and packed full of harmonies. My kind of tunes! I even got a cd! Woo! I had really wanted to go to the bluebird cafe but reservations were required to attend the show and it was all sold out! Bummer! So, I went to the Listening room for a taste of Nashville Open Mic! After that I stopped in the Mercy Lounge and heard some great artists including Shawn Mullins. Best part is- I didn't spend any money! No cover charge and I got an ice cold water! :o)

By that point it was about 11:45 pm and I for some reason wasn't feeling all that sleepy so I decided to drive for a while. I was planning on leaving for home this morning but I thought I would get a head start last night. I drove for about 2.5 hours and ended up in Louisville where I stayed at the Microtel Inn. I enjoyed some good sleep! It was much needed!!

Since I got a head start and had a little extra time, I decided that it would be quite sad if I did not do some exploring in Louisville. I am in the Old Louisville district which holds a ton of history that I wish I could learn more about. Since I am a lover of coffee houses (you all should know this by now) I decided to stop into the Old Lousiville Coffee House. Which is where I am right now. I met a girl named Erin who works there. She helped me figure out where I should go next in my Louisville adventure. I told her that I wanted to spend some time outside so I am now headed to the Floral Terrace which has walking courts full of flowers! Can't wait!!! Maybe I will let you all see too! ;)

OK, I should head out! Check back soon for a video update- Kentucky style!
