Day 22 - In Jeffersonville
Kerry spent the morning getting his Phoenix ready to ride tomorrow. He didn't expect to ride it this summer, so he had a number of things he wanted to do.
After he finished, we walked downtown to find the courthouse and see the sights.
One locally famous place is Schimpff's Confectionary. They have been making candy in this location since 1891. We had a few pieces, but honestly, it was nothing special.

From the cady shop, we walked down to the riverfront. The big event this weekend is Abbey Road on the River, which is the world's largest Beatles inspired music festival. There were a whole lot of people around our age - not your typical music festival crowd!

There is an old railroad trestle across the Ohio River here that has been restored as a pedestrian and bicycle bridge. It's about a mile across to Louisville.

There were many cyclists enjoying the bridge, including these four. The woman in the gray asked if I would take a picture of them. Thet led to a discussion about bike touring, of course.

We went looking for the courthouse after the bridge walk. We thought it was here, by the status of Thomas Jefferson, for who the town is named.

Our last stop of the day was the Vintage Fire Museum. We had an excellent and very interesting tour.
Back on the road to more courthouses in the morning!
