Harumph. I did the worst ever job taking pictures of state signs. I claim joint blame with David. He wasn't telling me soon enough when the state line was coming up. And I never had the camera ready. But we did see the Georgia sign twice, the Tennessee sign twice, the Kentucky sign, and the Illinois sign. Honest, we did.
Food. We found a really cool Mexican restaurant north of Nashville, Tennessee. See David's post for the picture of the hand painted chairs.the whole place was covered with murals, carved and burned wording. Really special discovery - and the food was actually pretty darn good. For later, we found a Kroger and bought hotel snack food. We have a microwave so we can heat up soups etc. I am very concerned about eating sensibly while on this long road trip so I've got plenty of raw carrots, nuts, dried fruit etc. You know what I mean...?
The liquor store in Marion, Illinois was a shock. Incredibly expensive. A bottle of vodka was nearly twice as expensive as a Florida bottle of vodka. Wowzers.
We drove passed Paducah, Kentucky. Home of the National Quilt Museum. Some years ago I won a scholarship to take a workshop at the Museum. It was a nice thing to think about as we whizzed by. I vaguely remember the Museum was called something like the American Society of Quilts....? Or something. But there is no doubt there has been a name change.
Okay, what else... The fall trees are lovely. It's been 6 years since we've seen such colours. No palm trees. Lots of hills then suddenly no more hills. Now it's flat. We've been getting great gas prices, combined with straight flat roads we should be doing well on total cost of gas.
Okay, time for a gin and tonic, and maybe a cup of soup.
