We decided to try out the 16th largest city in the nation Louisville Kentucky. Because we do not like to stay in the city we googled information on lodging outside of the city.

After the loss of my camera and bike in September I was momentarily plunged into the shadow of a defeated mentality and lost inspiration to write. I had lost the ability to share pictures with my words and thought that my words alone were probably not enough to keep your attention.

As of now we are aiming to leave by this weekend. I can't even be excited about it because every time we think we have everything done then it turns out we have 5 more things to do or wait o http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kentucky/Louisville/blog-182137.html So today is the first day this week I have had a chance to relax... being that all week even though I have not had a job I have had tons of errands to run in preparation for my travels. Packing for this trip was much different than any packing I have done before. Usually it takes me approximately 10 minutes to throw everything I need into some sort of bag but as I will be gone for a couple of mont http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Kentucky/Louisville/blog-175540.html
