My wife and I are on vacation, having travelled from the DFW area to Cincinatti and northern Indiana. I have spent plenty of time in the Nashville, Tennessee area, but had never been through Kentucky or to Cincinatti.<br /><br />We came up I-65 and went through Kentucky to Louisville, and I hafta say that the country was not as I had imagined it. It was hilly---even mountainous---and not the vast expanse of horse pastures that I expected. The fall colors are out right now, and we were wowed by the beauty.<br /><br />We skirted Louisville and took I-71 (I think) to Cincinatti. It was dark just as we approached the Ohio River. That particular route does not reveal the city of Cincinatti gradually, it is dramatic and sudden! We came around a curve in the road, and there before us was the city of Cincinatti, all lit up and pretty as a postcard! From that vantage point it was truly one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. Wow!<br /><br />So, hats off to a gorgeous part of the USA. To anyone who has never been through that part of the country, I hartily encourage you to see it, like we did, at this time of the year and on the route we took. You won't be disappointed!<br /><br /><br />-dd-
