Apparently this city is known as the City of Fountains and has more fountains than any other city apart form Rome. There is one area known as the Plaza which is very close to where I am staying that has a lot of them. This is a shopping and eating area which has many exclusive shops and good restaurants. It certainly is one of the nicer places I’ve come across during the last few weeks.
Downtown there isn’t that much to see, much like many of the other cities I’ve found myself in. However, I did visit an old steamboat museum which was interesting and also looked around another rail station. Then I came across the Liberty Memorial. I wish I had known about this earlier as it contained a new museum all about World War One. It’s very new and doesn’t seem to appear on any tourist information and the only bit I did find was very out of date. So I only got just over an hour here before it shut but could have spent half a day in there. Real shame I didn’t get more time there.
So up in the morning for a flight to Richmond, Virginia via Atlanta for the last motor race that I’ll be watching.
