Jen here. I just visited friends and family in Memphis and am back in Owensboro. JD and I are trying to get the last details for our trip hammered out before we head in different directions. JD is going to the Nevada Outback for a weekend with the guys, and I'm traveling to Long Beach, CA to participate in a half marathon with the ladies. Is there any better way to travel on an overseas flight than with really sore legs? I ...

... terrific and meeting their birds was just a great treat. Butch, Pam’s dog, is also a HUGE sweetheart. He leaned on all of us. My husband looks with bemusement on all the bird talk but we all like the times we can actually TALK parrots to someone instead of writing it on the lists! Even though most folks ended up not being able to come, I thought the Meet and Greet was great fun—thanks, Karen (bless your heart).

... scenic. I checked the legend on the map again and found we were on a bicycle route not a scenic bypass. It looked like a suicide route for bicyclers but I was glad to know it wasn’t what Kentucky thought was scenic. Hodgenville was scenic however. A very pretty town square with a small, private Lincoln museum and a large state of Lincoln in the middle of the square. Also there was a small shop that sold ice ...

New Harmony, Indiana was a Utopian community, established in 1814 by a group of Pietists from Germany (EfMers, year three IS relevant!).  The original "Harmonists" created a charming and very productive little town on the banks of the Wabash River in southwestern Indiana. When they left another group of Utopians, the Owenists, bought the town and tried  to make a go of it.  Didn't work for them ...

We been moving along to get home and it is a long way. So I'm going to post where we spend the night and then the next day it's off on the next leg. Were on our way to North Carolina and then to Florida. Sorry no pictures. Ray and Christa

... to tomorrow when everything will be new to both of us as we head through St. Louis and on to Colorado (Our goal for tomorrow). I need to speak to Dad "Kirby" when we get home, I almost ran off the road when we hit a certain area in West Virginia. Everything was quiet as I was navigating over the WV ...

We had no problem in leaving Cave in Rock early this morning and even the drivers were out by 8. After a short but very relaxing ferry trip across the river that morning we tucked into the hard yards and arrived at the agreed destination, the Sebree Baptist Church, only to find Hodge and Lombard tucking into heaps of home-made food having just taken part in the monthly sing ...

... and stopped for a dinner. Where else can you stop for a dinner in Kentucky if not in KFC? Everybody ordered something different and all of us were really disappointed. Aneta's, Michael's and Piotr's chicken tasted like fish and mine like a beef. Our next visit in KFC will be in Ireland. After this unusual experience we went back north towards Indiana. We crossed first time zone in the United States and entered to Evansville where we stayed for the night in Best Western motel.

... but that was not to be. Thus it was flip-flops for me the rest of the way. Tuesday morning, we awoke through the night to sounds of wolves howling. well, Mallory did, I must have been sleeping on my good ear! Anyways, she did not get much sleep, I however, slept like a baby. A big, fat, tired, half deaf baby. Alright, after we drove along RMNP, we headed south. as luck would have it, my parents were in CO, so we met them at my aunt's, where ms ...
