We decided to go to Cincinnati Union Terminal that houses the Cincinnati Museum Center. We chose to see The Human Body in Omnimax and BODIES ... The Exhibition. The terminal is one of the best examples of art deco architecture in the country. Beautiful mosaics were displayed throughout in its heyday as a train station but to save them when its future was uncertain, the flat panels were moved to Greater Cincinnati Airport. Two curved ones remain. It is a beautiful, beautiful building.
The movie's photography was awesome and the exhibit mind boggling. I find it hard to believe people can look at the complexity of the human body and not believe in a supreme being or to take in the fetal exhibition and not question abortion. We were especially interested in observing the esophagus, hip joint, gall bladder and knee. We spent close to three hours at the museum.
We then rode through our old neighborhoods and stopped by a friend's service station to say hello and ask how his wife is doing. She is undergoing chemo and asked that we wait until July when we return to get together. Her son was there and said she is doing well but is very tired. We continued on to Dick's Sporting Goods to buy shotgun shells since Ted can't make any.
At 6:30 we met Bev (P&G) and Paul at Whisky's in Lawrenceburg. We had a 3-hour dinner and then stood in the parking lot some more. It was so good to see them. On the way home Ted asked if I wanted to stop at the casino. After all he did have that $25 winnings to work with.
We stayed just one hour. Ted was still up $10 and I won $60 so it was a good visit. It was very late when we got home.
Our time here is passing quickly. We paid for a week upon arrival so had to pay for the remaining four days today before we forgot. We will be pulling out next Tuesday.
