2016 TransAm/Western Express Day 13 - Berea, KY
So, I hesitate to post this because I don't want to make it sound like we're a bunch of lushes. We're not, but we are cyclists who, at the end of a long day of biking, would like a beer. Or two. So it may or may not be the case (it is) that we went to the only restaurant in Berea that serves alcohol and...bought all their alcohol. Every last one. So the last few days we haven't been able to drink because we've been in dry Kentucky counties. This country we're in is a "moist" county. No, seriously, that's the official term. Moist. Which means it's mostly dry, but certain places are allowed to serve. So we closed it down.
Berea is nice. These are not my people but everyone here has been very nice to us. It's vey religious here but there is a focus on individual expression and arts and crafts. All students at Berea attend for free but they work for their tuition by making things or doing a job to help the school, which is a cool idea.
