Cincinatti Ohio

8 May 2018

I am staying with Amber in her apartment in Cincinatti. I met Amber and her friend Ryan on a pedestrian bridge in Nashville Tennessee three (3) years ago when I asked them to take a photo of me with the Predators stadium in the background.

They asked me where I was from and what I was doing in Nashville and at that time I was travelling around America (North and South) after dropping off my son at George Washington University for his semester of exchange study abroad. I was also to fly to Orlando to watch my older son compete in the Cheerleading World Championships.

After having dinner, Amber and Ryan filmed me bootscooting at the White Horse Saloon and Ryan offered me one of his spare tickets to the Ice Hockey playoffs between the Nashville Predators and Chicago Black Hawks. My second ice hockey game and both times the Black Hawks won.

Ryan Amber and I have communicated since then and I am now in Amber’s apartment in Cincinatti as she kindly invited me to stay and show me around.

Last night’s baseball game was lots of fun with Amber and her friends, Brenna and Carlos.

This morning I went to Eden Park, an oasis in suburban Cincinatti, although to get there I had to dodge some squirrels scampering out from the woods. The park overlooks the Ohio River to Kentucky.

This statue of Remus and Romulus and the Wolf was gifted to Cincinatti by Benito Mussolini.

This cormorant fisherman statue is a friendship gift from Japan. I found the description about the work demanded of the Cormorant disturbing.

Quaint mushroom house.

Tomorrow on to West Virginia.
