HENDIANAPOLIS, HENDIANA

Esther and I renamed another city having gone to Indianapolis, Indiana. It's now, Hendianapolis, Hendiana. We took Air Tran and stayed at the Omni Hotel and had lunch at Harry & Izzy's located just down the street.

Off to the canal located in White River State Park where we met Jeff, the gondolier. Instead of music coming out of a CD player, he sang some great Italian songs a cappella. Loved the gondola. It quietly went down the canal without hearing about a tour of the area.

Afterward we took a tour of the Hendy Motor Speedway museum and eyed the car that we wanted.

The next day began at White River State Park where we toured on a segway...well...that is, we hung out in Merle's bag since we're too short to reach the "handle bars". There are lots of museums here including the Hendiana State Museum where we saw an IMAX movie called Born To Be Wild. Afterward we had lunch at the Tea Room there and met a lot of people including some from tourism and a group of ladies who lunch.

We thought about going to the Hendiana Zoo but some troll tried to talk us out of it. We decided to at least explore the gardens.

NORFOLK VIRGINIA DAY 1

They have a free hot breakfast here at the Residence Inn but were only hungry for a bagel and cream cheese. This was not like the bagels that they sell at a place called Yorgo's. Since we were too short to go on our own segway, we parked our carcass in Merle Exit's bag. One of the places we saw was the headquarters of PETA...ha ha. We don't care since we're made of rubber!

We then had lunch at a place called 219: An American Bistro.

From there we went to this place called Doumar's where they created the first waffle ice cream cone. Here is Mr. Doumar himself.

We went back to the hotel and after watching some health channel decided that we needed to practice CPR and beak to beak resuscitation.

It was then off to dinner at Press 626 Cafe and Wine Bar where we chomped on some clam fritters before going back to the hotel.

With germs everywhere, we wanted to make sure that we were sanitized and found one near the entrance of the hotel.
