Muhammed Ali & Churchill Downs

Ali Center was very inspiring.  Made you believe you could do anything IF you believed.  It laid out his life with out any sugar coating, just told it like it was.  So worth the visit.

View from the Ali building, it is of the Ohio River.  The short walk between the two places had art work on display.  We thought this car was rather funny.


 Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby.  We got here too late to take a tour but walked around and watched a race.  On the right is a picture of the stands just to the left of the finish line but above the winners circle.
Place your bets.  The winner of the 8th race, the number 4 horse.  We just happened to be standing right by the winners circle.  Don't show a picture of the actual track.  It is dirt and flat.

It was a very long day but lots of fun.  Ended up at Wal Mart (again) to replace the camera before it died completely.  Hope to make it a week or so without going to Wally World again.  Weather was beautiful again, a bit warm at 91 degrees but the sun was shining and there was a nice breeze.  Might not be so lucky tomorrow.  See you then.
