FOUNTAIN


July 29, 2010---Downtown Cincinnati at Fifth & Vine is a very nice area called Fountain Square. The fountain was presented to the people of Cincinnati in 1871 as a memorial. It was repaired in 1971 and fully restored in 2000.



































Look who's headed to the ice cream parlor!












Various sites around the square.

















Pigs play an important part in the history of Cincinnati. In the late 1800's the city carried the nickname "Porcopolis" because of all the slaughter houses in this area.



Therefore pigs get a lot of recognition.






After the trip across the river to Cincinnati we returned to the Manhatten Harbour marina in Dayton, KY. Enjoyed an evening meal on site at the "Reef".
