 Ohio River

 Met this interesting character after getting off the ferry. His name is Joe, he puts Jello in his water. He started walking in Texas and has been walking all over the south.

 Was able to snap a photo of this Amish man working in the field. They usually don't pose for pictures, but he was nice and stopped working to chat with us
 In Sebree, Kentucky we stayed in the youth center of Bob and Violet's church. They have allowed hundreds of cyclists to stay on their property. Bob and Violet made us a delicious breakfast in the morning and shared stories of the people who have passed through their home. We love you Bob and Violet!

 Ended up hanging out in Owensboro, KY after making some extra cash playing music by the Ohio river.

 Hung out with a local dude who makes his own board games. He said they were similar to Risk, but much more complicated.

 Some of his works in progress
