Day 28: Newport, KY
Nau mai
Yesterday we played in the northern tip of Kentucky in the city of Newport.
I continue to try and innovate in the field of breakfast presentation and yesterday I again used bright colours to make my plate of food look interesting. At the bottom of the plate you can see a sliced and toasted everything bagel topped with a cream cheese and scallion schmear, and at the top a line of orange quarters dipped in the bagel debri left on the cutting board.
I squinted at this photo for a while and thought that it could look like a snowy volcano erupting.
From the bus, a delightful view of a chain link fence covered with privacy mesh, another tour bus, and the﹙( MegaCorp Logistics Pavilion.
Liz visited the nearby Newport Aquarium and gifted us these photos of her highlights. There was a also a shark that was too scary to photograph and and octopus who was too crafty to get photographed.
The Taylor-Southgate Bridge crosses the Ohio River right into downtown Cincinnati. This continuous truss bridge has a main span of 260 metres and carries both vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
Sometimes its nice to be reminded that there are others out there that share your passion for large structures. I came across these generous reviews of the Taylor-Southgate Bridge and thought they were too lovely not to share.
In the foreground, the Purple People Bridge with its ‘pop of colour' and behind it the Dan C Beard Bridge with its ‘large hump’.
It was another brutally hot day and Tristan and I both suffered throught this sweaty jam in our trailer oven.
Another view of the﹙( MegaCorp Logistics Pavilion. This concert venue, completed in 2020, is a sister venue to Kemba Live! in Columbus, also featuring a two-way stage that serves an outdoor amphitheatre. The naming rights for this venue were purchased by﹙( MegaCorp in 2022 to help fuel its growth.
Spoon play to a very full and rowdy﹙( MegaCorp Logistics Pavilion.
The MegaCorp workers put the stage away after the show has been packed out.
