Yesterday Gram and I hit the streets of Cincy to see what we could see. Of course, it had to rain, so we diverted our original plans of tall-building visiting, etc. Instead we went to the
Underground Railroad Museum in Cincinnati. I'd never been and it was a fascinating and extremely sobering look at our country's history. I learned things I hadn't before. It was another of those moments for me where I realized that all the studying in the world and all the movies and all the replicas built will never be enough to make those of us who didn't live in those times understand what those who did, went through. I had a few such moments in Poland when visiting some of the WWII memorials. While I can't fully understand the experience of those involved in the Underground Railroad and all the turmoil that was involved, I can still be thankful for the life and gifts I have been given through God's grace.

Gram and I did enjoy the museum and afterwards hit
Skyline Chili for some lunch. If you haven't experienced a 5-way - I'm sorry for you. Being that it was so late in the afternoon when we ate, I had a 5-way and a Coney-Dog. :^) And I was happy. (The pic is a little blurry - I was using an unfamiliar camera)
5-way = Spaghetti, Skyline Chili, Beans, Onions and CHEESE!
Other photos I took - so gloomy out
PNC Bank Building
Another cool tall building
