When we lived in Lexington, I went to Indianapolis a couple of times in May, for qualifying weekend for the Indianapolis 500 race. It is amazing to watch cars go by at 200+ miles per hour. On qualifying weekend, you can get right down along the along pit lane fence.
My sister and my oldest nephew live in Ft Wayne Indiana, in the north east of the state. I have been there to visit a few times, and need to go back. We have close friends living around South Bend in the northwest of the state, we have been there several times to see Kel, Bob, Jen, and Jay.
The photo above is from the Auburn Cord Duesenberg car museum in Auburn Indiana. A great collection in the original Auburn design center and factory showroom.
I need to get back to see my sister sometime this year.

I can't resist this one, Thank You Debra at She Who Seeks
It's a beautiful car, with such fine and highlighted wishbones.
ReplyDeleteThere are some great museums there.
DeleteI have never been anywhere in Indiana. Had a friend who was from there who lived for the Indianapolis 500. I guess this is car racing week for us both.
ReplyDeleteWe will be home for the Indy 500 this year. :)
DeleteThe penguins should steal that car while they're in America confronting Trump and Vance!
ReplyDeleteBob wants his tank back and Stan is thinking about an airstrike. (We name the penguins.)
DeleteI'm waiting for him to say Haitians are eating penguins ... I mean, once he comes of the golf course.
ReplyDeleteAnd the car is beautiful but ... why it gotta be orange??? 😀😀😀
Orange is different
DeleteBeing from Illinois, I mostly have just gone through Indiana to get somewhere else. I've never really spent much time there.
ReplyDeleteIt mostly corn fields.
DeleteWe've been going to our friend's lake house in Angola for many years. That northeastern corner of Indiana and so many pretty lakes. One of these times when we're visiting, we'll go to the Duesenberg Museum. We pass the sign as we're driving to Angola and always say, "We need to stop there."
ReplyDeleteThe Duesenberg Museum is well worth the stop.
DeleteGood one!
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in Illinois, we went over the Indiana a few times and later in life I attended a wedding near Indianapolis.
Indiana is one of a few states that I have walked to, across a bridge from Louisville when I was in Law School.
DeleteI liked the penguin meme a lot.
