Kentucky

Heading south. From Gettysburg to Charleston, WV. We were pleasantly surprised to find what we saw of WV beautifully green and with good highways, good rest stops and friendly folks. We had no reason to expect otherwise, but enjoyed it and could easily visit again. Went on to Corbin, KY to visit Jane’s brother, Kirk. Melinda was away, but Kirk showed us around the little town and we had the obligatory supper at Sanders’ Café. That’s “Sanders” as in “Colonel Sanders” of KFC fame. Corbin was where it all began. Please say a prayer for Kirk and Mel to sell their home soon so that they can return to Florida and be closer to family. Grandkids do tug.
We had stopped on the way to visit the Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea. We saw pottery, weavings, paintings, wooden items and foods all native. Ate lunch and chose from the section of regional specialties. Tried a “Hot Brown” sandwich. Sounds like a hot roast beef san with gravy, eh? Not so. It’s made with white bread, ham and turkey, then topped with a totally concealing cover of thick white sauce and garnished with two bacon strips and a slice of tomato. We were glad to experience a popular local dish but preferred the corn pudding side dish. Pictures.
