American Discovery Trail: Muncie, Indiana

Our first Indiana segment goes from Richmond, Indiana, at the Ohio border, to Muncie, to Marion. We have passed Muncie by now and are about thirty miles from Marion, which is probably just out of reach for this week.

The sculpture here is at the Minnetrista Museum and Gardens in Muncie, Indiana. It is called the Catalyst, as far as I can tell. If I were in Muncie, I would go see it.

I was in Oregon this weekend (had a good tournament, now have 99.17 master points, so very close to my next milestone of 100), so it's good to be back to walking. Arlo was happy to see me and happy to go for a walk with me, so all is back to normal.

From our Ireland Trip. This is a Titanic Memorial, so probably in Belfast, which is a big shipbuilding location even today.

I vaguely remember this place - very old ruins of a church and village. In Ireland, "very old" can mean more than 1,000 years, sometimes more than 1,500 years, although I do not remember the precise age of this place. There is an ancient cemetery next to the tower.
