Another good day of reading. Got a lot of essays read. I've greatly enjoyed getting to know my table-mates. They are all good people and dedicated to doing a great job. I hope to have a picture of them up soon.
This was another dinner out night, so I walked up and down 4th Street Live trying to decide where to eat. I looked at menus in windows and finally settled on a place called Smashburger. I ordered an avocado club burger and Nutter Butter Shake. It was all amazing! Healthy--of course--it had avocado on it!

| This is 4th Street Live. It used to be a place called The Galleria way back when I lived in Louisville. It's like a pedestrian mall and they block off the street for concerts often. Tons of restaurants. |
 |
| My shake came first. It was so big it came in two cups! |
 |
About five minutes after this picture, the burger was replaced by about six napkins. Delicious, yes. Neat, no.
|
During lunchtime, many folks like to get out of the building--it's pretty intense work, so we need some sunshine and downtime. There's a beautiful plaza across the street with fountains and a grassy area. At lunch time it's solid people just soaking up the sun.

| Our grassy sanctuary! |
 |
| You can't see the fountains very well, but they're quite pretty. |
 |
| This is a better view of one of the fountains. There's a Panera, but we have that at home, so I am venturing to eat at local places. |
When I got back to the hotel this evening, I was greeted by calliope music from the Belle of Louisville, which was getting set to take folks on a dinner cruise. It was quite festive. Here's a picture from the atrium of her as she's pulling away from the dock.

It's hard to believe the reading ends tomorrow and I fly home day after. It's been a great experience and I really hope they invite me back.
