The exterior of the French Lick hotel. It is built of yellow brick - which are actually yellow and not just painted that way. The really fancy section in the center used to be a mineral water bar/spa.

The stairs currently lead to nowhere, and the room is part of the steakhouse inside.

The World Famous Pluto Spring, with its er... fragrant mineral waters. Not only was it available to drink straight from the source (in special cups and everything), it was also bottled and shipped everywhere. For DECADES. Then, in the early 1970s, it was discovered that the water also contained trace amounts of lithium, which is a controlled substance in the United States.

I'm working a conference at the French Lick Springs hotel, and I've got a pretty great view from my room!

The only downside is that I am at the tippy-tip of this end, and the conference area is waaaaaaaaaay over in the tippy-tip of that wing on the other side of the garden.

Stay tuned tomorrow or so, for pictures of famous Pluto Spring, source of the waters the Victorians flocked to drink, because it made them poop!
