Today we have a much needed rest day in Elizabethtown, known as E-town, Kentucky. We are staying at a hotel and loving every minute of it! AC, all the ice we want and a very good Indian restaurant within walking distance.
We had two wonderful and incredible stays just before we sacked out in this hotel. The First Baptist Church in Sebree, Kentucky hosts cyclists from all over the U.S. and world and insists on feeding them their first night there. Bob and Violet took Raine and I with them to their adorable smiling grandson, Trace's birthday dinner. We met the extended family, ate a lot and laughed a lot. They are gracious people who provided us a full game room (even air hockey), laundry facilities, a shower and a full kitchen. It was hard to leave there. Thank you Bob and Violet and Janine and Kirt for the dinner.
Our next night was on a beautiful farm seventy miles east of Sebree with a couple who moved from New Jersey. They have 2 horses, three dogs, 2 cats and 11 chickens. They gave us the use of their cottage and made us not only a fabulous dinner (pasta, sausages, salad, bruschetta, red wine) with dessert (fresh strawberries, ice cream and shortbread), they also made us breakfast before we left. Good coffee at last with cream!!! Miracle. Thank you Beth and Garry!
You wouldn't think we'd need a rest stop after that, but we do. We're wimply like that. We are off the main TransAm route now but will pick it again.
