Spirited Travelers, bite-sized travel stories.

Looking Back at Louisville

The first weekend in October always reminds me of the St. James Court Art Show, held each year in Old Louisville. The art show was an important part of our 20 years in Louisville, so this time of year always provokes a bit of nostalgia for me. Embracing that nostalgia, I took a walk down memory lane through the thousands of photos I made over those 20 years. Here is a handful (or maybe two handfuls?) of my favorites.

  1. Love these photos especially the Autumn/Fall colour. Hope you are both well and enjoy your new home (momentarily can’t remember where you are going). I am rather grounded in terms of travel as currently renting (ie no budget) while I look for a new home. But my passport is getting agitated and looking at a fab holiday in Upper Egypt possibly next Spring. A sort of return as was there as a student supposedly doing a land use survey in the Western Desert. A long story!!
