Day 10 - Pittsburgh to Cincinnati Ohio

Day 10 - Today we had time to visit the Newport Aquarium in Kentucky, which is just across the river from our concert at Shiloh United Methodist in Ohio.  Then some of us stayed at host homes in Indiana.  Almost four corners here, but not quite.  At the aquarium we walked below and above sharks, petted them and enjoyed penguins being fed and seeing seahorses and white alligators.

Once at the church we enjoyed a wonderful "taste of Cincinnati" dinner.  We had BBQ from Montgomery Inn, pizza from La Rosa's, and of course Skyline ("Cincinnati") Chili, which involves spaghetti, chocolate, cinnamon, onions and mounds of cheese and is delicious.  In the morning some of us had goetta, which involves beef and pork and pin oats made into a patty.  Also delicious.  The concert was very well attended and the kids played wonderfully..

Gina was reunited with old friends from the area. And we had one former ringer, Jeff Herman, Emma's uncle, who is Cullen's cousin's cousin's uncle and who is Pam (Herman) Allison's brother, so Dave's brother in law, and Eric's brother's brother in law's brother in law, and Janette's brother in law's brother in law's brother in law and Mary Ann Allison's daughter in law's brother and so Mary Ann's granddaughter's uncle.  That's probably enough of that but honestly I could go on and on.

We also had Doug Hattery and all of his family from the area at the concert.  It was great to see and meet them.

No photoshopping occurred in the creation of these images, even the ones showing a bit more about life on the bus.  Guitars, singing and Mario Kart!
