There was no possibility of Kyle and I getting on a flight home today so we had the day to do whatever. With the strength in my legs being what it was, we agreed we would drive downtown and look at a few of the monuments and then go back to the hotel for the rest of the day and chill out. We were also looking for some t-shirts. The only ones we found were at Walgreen's quite by accident.
We drove by and saw the Scottish Rite Cathedral. It is an amazing cathedral. The architecture was beautiful. I tried the doors but the church was locked up. I wish we could have seen inside.
Then we went and saw an amazing monument that is dedicated "To Indiana's Silent Victors". It is a rememberence of all those lost in the American War's up through 1886. It lists the number of people who served and those who died in Service. It is quite an amazing piece of architecture. Inside is a gift shop and elevator or stairs that to up to look at the top. In the bottom is a civil war museum. I didn't realize Indiana was that involved in the civil war, but there is this monument and several other small ones around town.
Of course right across the street I spotted The Chocolate Cafe and had to check that out. It resulted in some Chocolate/Peanut Butter Ice Cream in a waffle cone and a delicious chocolate covered rice crispy treat. After that I couldn't walk any more and we went back to the hotel. We were at the LaQuinta Inn by the airport for the night and it was a nice room.
