A city on the Ohio River, named for a French King. Do you pronounce the city LOUIS – Ville? or LOUUUIE – Ville? either way it is a jewel nestled on the river.

(this one is long sorry).
Louisville is famous for three things (in my opinion of course)!
Brown Forman (makers Mark Bourbon)
Lousiville Slugger (Baseball Bat Company)
Cassius Clay (later known as Muhammad Ali).
We spent many days wandering the city. There is an Amusement Park and some Horse Racing place (The Kentucky Derby is held at Churchhill Downs just outside of Lousiville)/
It is an amazing place!

Is this Louisville the capital of Kentucky??? I only drink Jack Daniel´s bourbon
JD comes from Tennessee! Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky. Try Makers Mark, it is a smoother blend than JD.
I have never seen Maker´s Mark bourbon in Spain. But I will look for it carefully the next time I am in a big supermarket. The last time I was there I bought Jack Daniels because they gave me a T-shirt for free. I love this black Jack Daniel´s tshirt. I watch American movies when I drink Jack Daniels with coca-cola at the weekends. I feel I am from the South of the USA for a while.
i can see you as a southerner! y’all need to work to what y’all write though. Y’all have to use y’all much more if y’all in the south!
Since I have studied English from Cambridge University,(I have passed all his English examinations) I cannot use colloquial expressions, formal English expressions were introduced into me and as a result, I get confused if I read too colloquial expressions, something that happens as native people can write in a very colloquial way. I get confused. So I am not to write like people from the South I will only drink their bourbon. Another brand I have bought was Jim Beams. Some English accents are strange to me the BBC one is the one I like.
i actually was in an English school in Thailand. It is very different than a US school.
i struggle with some English dialects as welL!!!!
Do people from Thailand speak English???
i actually went to a British school but the people of Thailand learn French and English early in their school careers.
some speak Thai and English better than I spoke either of them!
Do you know Thai??? It must be difficult. So English is not an official language there??? I do not know anything about Thailand. Perhaps I have seen movies set in Bangkok where the people were fighting in a special way. Thailand fights
the favorite thai sport is Kickboxing.
put pasa thai (it means do you speak Thai).
i can stumble in the language (and Spanish a bit) but no i don’t speak Thai now.
I remember the sport. We call it “Thai fight (lucha tailandesa) I thought Kickboxing was not the same. Yes, I have seen the fights and they were incredible. I did not know Kickboxing and Lucha tailandesa were the same. Pasa means happens in Spanish. ¿Qué pasa? What happens?? I will not forget the owrd pasa does it mean speak???
i have memorized the thai I remember I would have to look it up and see (if it is put or pasa that means speak).
I remember Spanish class in high school que pasa – de done esta!
Thanks for the videos. I have always thought about horses when I hear about Louisville and I have always wished to go to the Kentucky Derby.
Honestly, you can literally hope on the bypass around Louisville and be in Kentucky Horse country!
Not my hero but I do remember him for sure. I preferred Superman and Batman. 🙂
Cool videos. 🙂
Thanks i like comic books as well, but Ali was willing to say what he meant in all cases.
I envy you nobly for all these wonderful journeys.
The ones to Louisville were mostly with my family, those were the best!!!
Another amazing city. I remember Cassius Clay
my dad hated boxing, but he and I watched Ali in every fight. He was amazing.
He really was amazing even though I don’t like boxing. It’s too rough a sport.
i agree with both things you said. i feel the same way. I have not watched boxing since Ali retired.
I’m going to wait on going to Louisville. The Kentucky Derby would be fun to go to.
it is the most amazing day, although in fairness I don’t often remember the day after my 5th Julep
Awesome time-lapse videos as always!
thanks – parrot free since 1983~
Sooner or later one will fly in front of the camera!
i am staying away from African and South American cities for now, just to prevent parrot interruption!
There are big populations of escaped/lost pet parrots so there’s always a chance.
But i am covering cold-weather places now. where escaped parrots flee south!
Love it all dear brother, you always give a part of beautiful cities to our restless minds. Thank You!
you bet, I spent a lot of time in Louisville over the years.
everyone ok on your side?
My one concern has improved, but the past from it all has me feeling numb and scared to move to a degree. I am trying to believe better days are ahead. Things look better for now.
i got your back sis!
strength and compassion attached to the comment!
I feel you really do care and I thank you. I need lots of prayers.
sending everything I can! i know this situation has been hard on you.
Hug Stacey, it will all be better.
It looks like a very nice place …. and how big is it? like our whole Slovenia?
around 7 million people overall. it is the 30th largest city in the US.
OOOOO has a population of 3 and a half in Slovenia
US cities are often bit, like EU cities (London, Paris and so on).
I would find it difficult to live in such big cities, dear friend … already in Ljubljana the traffic has become so heavy that you can’t get anywhere by car
that is really true, traffic is bad in bid cities.
I remembered Ali as Cassias Clay as I am the greatest
Don’t like boxing much, but then have to respect the man for fighting for his goals.
Loved the tube link to Louisville, amazing place
i loved Ali, I still don’t like boxing.
Louisville is one of my favorite places.
