Lexington, Kentucky

I am back on the road again! I stayed at home for 5 days, then re-packed my bags and headed for Lexington, Kentucky. I just arrived via airplane, and went to my hotel to hit the sack before a long day of touring the city tomorrow.

I wanted to taste some traditional Kentucky food, and by that I don't mean Fried Chicken. I went to the Kentucky Bluegrass Farmers Market. No out-of-state produce is allowed. It is all food grown by local farmers. I bought some broccoli and raspberries. It was very tasty snacking material.

To follow THIS up, I booked myself for a farm tour. It lasted about 3 hours, and it showed how the food was planted and how it grew. It was very interesting, and I learned some things for my garden back home, like how to make food produce more.

After this, it was almost dark. To honor Kentucky, I ate a quick meal at KFC and then got back to my hotel to tucker down for the night. I had a wonderful trip, but need to rest so that I can book my plane tickets for early.
