Over the Rhine

This past weekend, we took a tour of an area in Cincinnati called Over-the-Rhine.  It was an underground tour, which meant that we got to see some neat underground spaces.  I especially enjoyed the underground parts of the tours and seeing the hidden tunnels.

Here is the courtyard of the central church in the neighborhood (St. Francis).  It is a lovely oasis:

Thanks to Peter and Anne for the gift of these tickets!
