Columbus discovers Peoria
Had a check up with my surgeon yesterday and on the way home we stopped at the Peoria riverfront where the "Nina" was docked for a visit. A re-creation of the small caravel used by Columbus, it's amazing to visit. We saw it 17-years ago when it first docked in Peoria, but it was fun going through it again. Anyone near St. Louis, it's next port of call will be in Alton, IL.
Makes you admire the courage of the men that would cross the ocean in such a small craft.
