how i spent my time away, part 3
we did a lot on saturday
so
i am going
to
divide it
into
two posts
trust me
its better that way
we left cincinnati around 9 am
plan was
to go
to
frankfort
(the capital of kentucky)
wander a bit
have lunch
then
stop in midway on the way back
we drove for a while
mary wasnt sure we hadn't made a wrong turn
we hadn't
but we stopped
we popped
into
thats a texas donut
i could have eaten it all
i am that much of an oinker
but
i only ate that small piece
mary had a piece as well
then
i closed the box
took it with us
we decided to make a short
detour to
georgetown
(hey, its wednesday so of course there's a water tower or two)
it was charming
who could resist
that damsel fly
was kind enough
to stay put for
a close up
there are a lot of these stone walls in kentucky
they are similar to those found in connecticut
except
the kentucky walls
top row of stones
stand
upright
we changed our plans a bit
heading to midway
which as you can tell from its name
is mid way between two places/cities
frankfort and lexington
it was also for us on the way to or from frankfort
i dont know if you recall the movie
five easy pieces
or
the scene in which
jack nicholson's character
tries to order a sandwich
see that fried green tomato melt
i wanted that
without
the pimento cheese
our waiter was a bit annoyed
he kept telling me
it was a
grilled cheese sandwich
it needed the cheese
i suggested
he simply have it become a bacon tomato sandwich
he had trouble wrapping his mind around that
he offered to use different cheese
i politely declined
eventually
he decided it was possible to accommodate me
after lunch
which was tasty
and
pimento cheese-less
we walked along midway's one street
that old train car
sits across the road
from
the water tower
which seems a fitting way to end this segment
