Blue grass country Day 4 & 5
Well here we are in Lexington KY - the ride here was magnificent - hundreds of miles of rolling hills, farms and pastures WOW !!! Ok, as we all know, NOTHING is perfect - right??? So amidst all of this beauty were endless trucks pulling trailers filled with horses and assorted barnyard critters - I mean REALLY a person could walk faster than they were traveling.....but just to keep you occupied on this slow journey there were yard after yard after yard of yard sales! I mean were did all this stuff come from - there was some house stuff but mostly racks of clothing. It looked like a sale at Filene's basement - we even spotted a wedding gown - I guess just incase you got inspired or something like that - ??? At one point, on one of our stops (burger king), we watched a parade of horses go by.....would have gotten a picture but by the time I found my camera it was over - oh well maybe next time. Lexington is a small city - about 10 square blocks AND they charge you for internet - hense I am sitting in a cafe getting it for free. Last night we walked to a quaint part of the city and found a great restaurant with outdoor seating - met a charming family - he was from Genoa Italy and she was from Thiland - and I though Bob being from Long Island was exotic haha. Gotta love it!!! We topped the evening off by finding a neat bar that had outdoor seats and watched the Lexingtonians go by. This morning we actually walked a mile to find a Duncan Donuts - met a lady from New Jersey who had recently moved here - she said it was quite a culture shock so we decided not to look for realestate haha. Anyway tomorrow we are off again.....till then - happy trails, keep smiling, caffinated Flame and ice tea big dog
