Appalachia here we come!

Jackie and I had a relatively short day to Berea. We would have liked to go further but the next place we could have stayed was 80+ miles.

The mom went ahead and found the campsite. She also reconnoitered the artisan district in town and found the best slow food movement restaurant! I had a roast beef, cheddar, horseradish sandwich on homemade bread. It was easily one of the best things I have eaten in months (aside from the cooking of Nora Vrakas). From the cafe we walked to the ice cream/fudge/chocolate shop. We were just like kids in a candy store! After contributing to the local economy, we crossed the tracks and went over to the evil empire... Walmart. Walmart was great, we found everything we needed and played a little bingo while we were there.

Tomorrow we begin the big hills!
