Crossed the ohio river from Ohio into Kentucky a few days ago , and basically haven't been able to stop biking due to the dogs, it seems the folk here love horses, tobacco and unleashed dogs. And what the dogs love more than anything esle is chasing cyclists. my faviourite chase so far was a small fat sauage like dog with legs so short it looked like a slug moving across the ground , I felt so sorry for it cause his barking was so sincere that I slowed down just so he could feel like he was doing a proper job of chasing. .
we have been loosely following the old route that slaves used to escape to freedom from the South to the north ( prior to the civil war) , has been really interesting visiting the old museums and houses where poeple hid and were hidden - even more interesting is talking to the average american about their own history and so far their knowledge has been woefull ( although would the average NZer know the reason for the NZ land wars ??)
anyway doing well, loving being on the road again. will keep you posted.

We enjoyed your visit in Milford, Ohio. In the picture I took of you three in our living room there is a picture of Abraham Lincoln on the wall behind you. It is an interesting coincidence considering your trip to the UGRR museum.

Well good on you Andy for looking out for the little guy!
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to be a pain, (well actually I do)but common buddy, I'm resting up here unable to do bugger all (had the big V yesterday) and you're off skylarking about... the least you could do is upload a few photos for me.
