Knoxville TN - Frankfort KY

Day 2 



Refreshed from a good night's sleep and a nice breakfast I took off from Knocksville TN. to Frankfort KY. , which is the state's capital. 
Click here to learn more about it. It's a fun way to learn geography!
This leg took me three and a half hours; again enjoying great weather. The more I drove towards north the less I saw the arrival of Spring. It was like going back in time! But there were beautiful trees already in full bloom. 
Rest Area


the rest area highlighted Kentucky on the building's windows. 

 It's horses, and beautiful nature. 
A very special treat was the 
Kentucky Artisan Center at Berea

I had not forgotten the name Berea. Many years ago I had a student at Appalachian State University who told me everything about Berea, Ky. He had been accepted to become an intern at Berea College, a unique place, where students study, produce arts and crafts, all tuition free! 

The visit to the Center was a real treat! It is here where I bought the art piece that will bring back memories of my road trip to Iowa.
