Hopkinsville, Owensboro, and Madisonville

Some of you may have been wondering: Why has Andy stopped blogging? Well, it's really a two-part answer. Part one: I was a little lazy. Part two: Most of the places we have stayed during this Winter/Spring tour have had little to no Internet. 

Thankfully, we are staying in a place this week with incredible internet speeds and therefore, you all get to benefit from it. Happy reading!

One of our stops brought us to Hopkinsville, TN. It was a small town, with a dying downtown area. Luckily, the theatre was renovated and the shows turned out to be amazing. Below are some photos from Hopkinsville.

On the college campus, there was a park area with a Greek/Roman architectural design. It was pretty cool. 

After Hopkinsville, we headed over to Owensboro, KY.  We had a residency at the RiverPark Center, which is a large, 1,300 seat auditorium and a great stage. We filled the bottom half of the theatre for a school performance and got many seats filled for the public show. It was a good experience. Near the theatre was an awesome place called "Smothers Park". Quite possibly the best playground I've seen.

Cool piano near Smothers.

Smothers Park. Awesome. 

 After Owensboro, we headed to Madisonville, KY. We stayed with a lovely 77-year old lady named Patsy. Her husband died of complications with Alzheimer's only two years ago. She loved hosting tour actor/directors and she cooked for us. Every. Single. Night.

She lived on an incredible property and owned a gorgeous house. Gander below.

Becca. Bein' awesome on hay.

In Madisonville, there is a place called "The Lost Sea". It's a cavern that holds the world's largest underground lake in the world. It was a neat experience...and kind of creepy.

Near the entryway. 

Down, down, down, we went to enter into the main cavern.

I don't have flash on my camera, but luckily a Pilipino was taking a photo with his flash right when I took mine. 

So far, this Winter/Spring tour has been treating us well. We have had some incredible experiences this far and we can't wait to head back to the east coast for more!
