After lunch I walked through Levee Park on my way to the public library. I saw the American Melody parked and passengers were getting on and off. This ship took off from St. Louis, Missouri and was on it's way to Saint Paul. Just as I walked to the end of the ship I saw an elderly couple. The man used a walker. Just then the American Cruise bus went by and KERPLOW!!!! blew a tire right next to me. The noise was so loud. I could see a 3 inch gash in the sidewall of the tire. I jumped. The man with the walker starting tipping over. I thought he was going to fall but he didn't. My adrenaline was through the roof. Yikes. The ship was still there on my way back from the library a few hours later but it eventually pulled away and headed up river again.
