It seems West Virginia is a roadkill-free state - they should be proud.
We contemplated counting tire-roadkill, as it was abundant in the state.

Kentucky has a strange fascination with naming its cities after European places: London, Paris, Frankfort, Versailles, etc. Unfortunately, they have trouble with European pronunciation. Versailles in Kentucky is pronounced "ver-sales." Ugh! But I guess that should be expected.
6:20 PM
We arrive in Lexington, KY!
Tonight we visited KB and her family. We were treated to KB's famous lasagna, then walked down to a local ice cream shop for dessert. Yum, mint chocolate chip ice cream!
