The nice part is that it is in the late afternoon and evening so we get quite a variety of pictures in different light settings. <br /><br />Part 2 in my little mini-series is cruising back down the river, then part 3 will be the sunset images of the downtown Cincinnati skyline. This cruise is all so very relaxing and close to the roots of how Cincinnati came to be on the banks of the Ohio River.<br /><br />For those who aren't aware of exactly where these images were taken, this is where Eliza of Uncle Tom's Cabin crossed the Ohio River. There was no Army Corps of Engineers to construct dams to raise the river level then so the Ohio was a much lower/smaller river. The family home (now museum) of author Harriet Beecher Stowe is just blocks from our home.<br /><br />Thank you, everyone, for stopping by. <br /><br />Very best,<br />LoisLois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-73068244891315147492010-07-01T19:54:29.252-04:002010-07-01T19:54:29.252-04:00For our Senior Prom, we took a riverboat down the ...For our Senior Prom, we took a riverboat down the Ohio River, but that was sooo many years ago!Wanda.....https://www.blogger.com/profile/00551160819558198338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-60139867363099259362010-07-01T15:48:07.719-04:002010-07-01T15:48:07.719-04:00How beautiful Ohio is!

Buffet food always leaves you feeling it could have been a bit better, and they do seem to go heavy on the comfort food, but it sounds like yours wasn't too bad. I look forward to seeing more of the river.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01801967071649685995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-12395981845673847142010-07-01T08:41:09.105-04:002010-07-01T08:41:09.105-04:00Oh Goody, another trip down the great Ohio River! ...Oh Goody, another trip down the great Ohio River! That boat was docked here in Charleston for many, many years during our River Boat Days - now suspended for what ever political reasons. We would have paddle boat races etc. Lots of fun. Good seeing her again. I've taken several rides on her down our river...I'll be ready tomorrow!! ...debbieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186835296797362617.post-3494676460019406152010-07-01T07:45:23.440-04:002010-07-01T07:45:23.440-04:00Lois, sometimes the most fun cruises are close to ...Lois, sometimes the most fun cruises are close to home! This riverboat one is very "tame" comapred to your recent travels, but lovely and what a great day you had. Buffet foods aren't always great and comfort food is definitely what lots of folks prefer - some of it I like, not all. Like you, we would rate the food since Grenville and I both enjoy cooking. Glad you had such a fun experience after the recent parking lot incident.Beatrice P. Boydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08281239556392874979noreply@blogger.com
