Next stop - Louisville

After a good night's sleep, we had a nice breakfast with our friends, Bill and Sarah Richey who then gave us a tour of Bowling Green before we left for Louisville.  We took hwy. 31W and passed the Icy Sink Baptist Church and a Wigwam motel where you can sleep in a wigwam.  The most famous of these is on Route 66, but there is also one in Cave City, Kentucky.

We passed through several small towns such as Park City, Cave City and Horse Cave.  Kentucky seems to be very green, with most of the roads lined with pastures and cattle.  With the rolling hills, you can see a patchwork of pastures going towards the horizon.  We continued on Hwy. 31E on into Bardstown where we encountered a massive traffic jam.  There was a funeral today for a state trooper that was killed in the line of duty and there was a huge procession of police vehicles that came from all over the state going through town that had traffic snarled.  We stopped for gas and asked if there was any way to get around the  traffic.  They gave us some directions, which turned out to be very easy and we bypassed the traffic and were soon on our way.  We soon got to Louisville where we were caught in some stop and go traffic for a while before getting to our hotel.  We rested a bit then when to a local Cajun place for some etouffee and gumbo, which were good but a little too spicy.  Then back to the hotel to relax and plan tomorrow.

Our Midget got to spend the night with the Richey's wonderful collection of
pre-war MGs and other British car
