One more day until we are out of KY!!!! It actually feels like we have been here forever. I know we added on three days on purpose but we are both ready to be done with this state! Mostly because of the dogs. Again today we were chased by at least 7 different dogs, 3 of which were severe threats, 2 were possible threats, and 2 were just having fun running with us.
Today was beautiful weather for cycling. It was cool and overcast all day so we decided to have a long day. In the morning I totally wasn't feeling it but after a lunch of three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a drumstick ice cream that I convinced Joe I absolutely needed I was feeling better!
Tonight we are staying at a Baptist church which we are convinced doubles as a hotel! We have mattresses, electricity, hot showers, laundry, and a kitchen full of food that they said "help yourself to anything"! Although they tried to convert us they said "no" to any donations and told us to have a great night! What a find! We are currently stuffing our face with vanilla ice cream and microwave popcorn! YUM!
Another cyclist is staying with us tonight and he had the same idea as us! He just graduated college and decided to take a trip. He is almost done because he is headed East, but we have been having a fun time talking with him and hearing about all of his cycling adventures!!
Did we mention we're excited to be out of KY!?!
