Little Towns and Detours – Spring Vacation Blog Post #4

Back to last month’s vacation. We spent the rest of our first day in Kentucky driving around little towns up and down the Ohio River.

Who knew it was such a wide river. And this was before the spring melt up north started. All the rivers in the country seem to be near flood stage now. Thanks to the miserable, bipolar month of April. But I digress.

When we are driving around, I randomly take pictures out of the car window of any buildings which look interesting. I thought this was just someone’s huge old plantation house and didn’t think the picture would turn out anyway. Actually it is one of the world's top ten most romantic inns, Riverside Inn outside of Warsaw, Kentucky. Crazy.

 And here we are in the city of Warsaw, where we ran into our first detour. Which I appreciated, because it gave me an excuse to get out of the car and walk around town. The county courthouse.

Well maintained historic old buildings.

And some not so much.

But still some colorful ones.

The heritage center in town was closed for the day.

And someone was not happy about it.

But eventually, we crossed the river into Indiana, where we kept running into more detour signs, but I said let’s just keep going, until, well, we had to turn around and back track down some narrow windy roads which, believe it or not, I didn’t take pictures of.

The next town of interest, though, was Aurora, Indiana.

With its many murals.

Quaint downtown.

And other fun stuff.

Even the feed store looked fun.

But it was time to head back to our Airbnb to rest up for our big day tomorrow.
