Wow - I think that this trip just gets better and better.
We left Terre Haute at 8.15 this morning and we were driven out to a nature reserve to look at birds. Not really my cup of tea until we stopped to look at a big nest high up in a tree that contained a Bald Eagles, that was soon joined by its mate! WOW. We took some photos which are a bit hazy, although Mark managed to be clever and took one through the lense of binoculars and it's come out really well. What a fantastic experience. How many people can say that they've seen birds that big in the wild and not just in captivity.
We presented to 2 Rotary clubs at lunch time, and we're pleased to be joined by Paul and Pat Bippen from Columbus Rotary who are people we have formed very close friendships with.
We then took a 4 hour drive to our final destination - Jeffersonville. We are just across the Ohio river from Louisville where we will fly home from on Sunday, but also more importantly where the Kentucky Derby will be run on Saturday.
We're all starting to reflect on the experiences we've had and whether it really has been 'life changing' - at this point with 4 days still to go, with the high that we're on we're not too sure but the test will come when we return home and see how the experience will change our lives back home!
