After a full day of running all over the city, I was long due for a relaxing sit... and some wine. As the clouds rolled in and offered some relief from the sweltering summer sun, the team at Old World Gondoliers welcomed me with a song... and some ice cream. I loved both!

I was told that a lot of people don't realize there is a canal running through Indianapolis. Well, there is. And here is the proof.

As I chatted with Jeff Hutson, the owner of the gondolas, we were entertained by our singing chaperone. (You heard a little bit of that on the radio show.) Jeff told me that his floating crafts are the scene of many a marriage proposal. Make note if you are planning to pop the question in Indy.

We pass people riding bikes, rollerblading and going for walks, most of whom give us a hello and are also entertained by the singing.

Available for public tours and private functions, Old World Gondoliers also operates an electric boat that winds its way through the Central Canal downtown.

Also, a shout out to the staff at Fresco Cafe for the amazing refreshments.
