While in Louisville, we stayed with Perry, Stephanie and Vincent. Their home is located in the St Matthews neighborhood, on the east side. They also have 3 pets: Frisco the dog and Greenville and Speckles, 2 box turtles. By Friday of our visit, Stephanie had gotten a tiny painted turtle from one of her ESL colleagues. We named her Okane (honorable money) or Kaneoka (money hill in Japanese) because we were hoping she would bring good luck money while we were feng shui-ing their home. Mark enjoyed sketching the box turtles. During the week, we also dined at Vietnam Kitchen, Lemongrass Cafe and Simply Thai. What great ethnic eateries! We also had dessert at Graeters, a locally-owned ice cream shop. Notice the blooming white pear and pink plum blossom trees! By Friday, spring had sprung in Louisville!
The photo of the pegasus sculpture is located downtown in front of the Presbyterian Church USA headquarter, where Perry works as a congregational researcher.
Many thanks to our hosts for driving us around town and letting us stay at their home!
