We’re 3 out of 4, but the iced tea was good…
Today started out at 10 am with Jan attending the Dog Talent Show and I hit the vendors area again. I bought a couple of things, and I’m looking at a few more, including a new PacBrake.
At noon Jan and I met for a lunch of corn dogs and french fries at the Food Court. What we didn’t realize at the time is that this would be the best meal of the day.
Then at 1 pm Jan caught a seminar on RV’ing the Pacific Northwest by Mike and Terri Church. A little late since this is where we were earlier this year.
I checked out a talk on RV Refrigerators, which I hoped would help with a problem I’m having with mine. No luck. But it was interesting.
About 2:30 pm we headed north into Indiana to Sam’s Club to pick up a prescription and some other stuff. Then it was off to the low point of the day.
Since we’ve been in Louisville, we’ve eaten 2 places that were on the Rally Tours: Mark’s Feed Store, and Joe Huber’s Family Farm and Restaurant. We also discovered Cottage Inn, a nearby local favorite. All three were excellent.
The 3rd restaurant on the Rally Tours was Kingfish Seafood. In finding the directions online, I also read a few reviews. Some liked it, but others said it had gone downhill, and wasn’t as good as it used to be. Another said the food was “Bland, bland, bland”.
And boy, was he right.
Jan had a Shrimp and Oyster Platter with a Baked Potato and Glazed Carrots, and I had the Seafood Feast, with Tilapia, Catfish, & Shrimp, with Corn on the Cob and Onion Rings. Believe me, bland, bland, bland certainly described the meal.
Nothing had any taste or seasoning. Red Lobster is much better, and I really don’t like Red Lobster.
But as Jan said, “The iced tea is good, though”. A ringing endorsement, indeed!
The view of the Ohio River was pretty, but it didn’t make up for the meal
On our travels we collected photos of a number of city mascots in last few years, including pelicans, mermaids, bears, bison, and now horses. We’ve seen a number of these around town, all with different paint schemes.
Getting back to the rig, we rested up and tried to keep cool for about a hour and then headed out for the high point of the day.
Tanya Tucker ! And just as a teaser here she is singing “Delta Dawn”.
And she was fantastic.
During the first part of the concert, I was impressed by the voice of the backup singer in the band. Turns out she comes by that voice naturally. She’s Tanya’s 21 year old daughter, Presley.
And boy, can she sing, too.
Tanya ended the show with the first big hit she had, Delta Dawn. When she was 13!
Before the concert they were selling aerial photos. So here’s what we look like here.
We got back to the rig about 8:30 after a long day. It’s nice to be home.
More tomorrow…
