On the way out of town from Louisville, KY to Cincinnati, we visited the Kentucky State Capitol building in Frankfort, KY.  The building has been selected as the 3rd best beautiful Capitol building. 

 The dome in the rotunda changes colors each 5-5 seconds.

 We were surprised to see a copy of the Ten Commandments in the rotunda.

 The building was well lit, spaceous and built under budget.

 In one hallway there were pictures of Kentucky's famous women...not necessarily all politicians.

 A representation of the counties in the state with a needlepoint panel of a unique feature or industry in that county.

Before we left town...a quick stop at the Rebecca-Ruth Bourbon Candy store.  A pic of an old fashioned candy extruder. Much of the work done in the factory is still done by hand.

We finally made it to Cincinnati where we spent the evening with a neighborhood friend who just happened to be a former student.  The meal was delicious as Jane is a wonderful cook.  The Apple pie made us miss home.
