Memorial Hall Nine Ways, "Blink" Cincinnati |
Well, the main point was to go to “Fall Fiesta,” a fundraiser for
Cooperative for Education. I’ve written about COED in previous
posts; the nonprofit is the engine behind the work we help with in
Guatemala.
We had some time to spare, and it turns out that Southern
Ohio is pretty interesting.

Music Hall and Luminarium. "Blink" Cincinnati |
Friday night, some local friends graciously showed us around
the first annual “Blink,” a light
show (though these words hardly encompass its scope) with installations all
over metro Cincinnati. It was an
absolute zoo, but I did manage some photographs and had a great time.
Sunday my husband and I drove (and drove) East.

Serpent's Mound |
Serpent’s Mound
is an ancient effigy; a snake sculpted from the earth about 2000 years
ago. The snake is 1300 feet long. It’s a beautiful spot on a bluff.
We had a lovely hike in Conkles Hollow
Nature Preserve in gorgeous, filtered light.

McClain High School |
My Mom grew up in Greenfield Ohio, not too far from our
trajectory, so we stopped to visit her (rather grand for a small town) alma
mater, McClain High School. The sign says,
in part, “What’s in Greenfield? Well, principally there is the school.”

Eden Park View, Cincinnati |
Downtown Library View |
Our flight Monday was late in the day, so we explored
Cincinnati a bit, with breakfast at Taste of Belgium, an exploration of Eden Park with its
stellar views, and a stop at the downtown Library for the kind of browse that’s
always fun and that we never seem to have time for at home. Oh, and the view.

Chicago view, courtesy of Southwest Airlines |
As if that wasn’t enough fun, there was a breathtaking view
of Chicago at dusk on final approach to Midway.
My family thinks I can’t do cities, but I can. I swear.
