Trish & Phill's Tandem TransAmerican

Tour 2003 

May 21 Berea Kentucky

Still at Berea

The public library system is good in the USA. We can go into any of them and have free access to the internet. This allows us to catch up with our family and friends. We also have a NEC Laptop computer with us, that's how we update this website.

Our daughter Julie is getting closer to delivering us a grandchild so Nan is getting more and more concerned about her. Trish want's to be calling her all the time "just in case".

Berea is a town that has a Collage (University). Students attending it partly pay their fees by taking part in the manufacture, distribution or sales of Arts and Crafts. The town is full of shops that sell arts and crafts, antique and collectables (mostly junk). Trish spends the day wondering from shop to shop admiring the stuff YAWN .. wish the cricket game was on offer today !

We called into one shop and a woman started chatting with Trish. On finding out she worked at an Oil Refinery she pulled out a musical instrument that looked the cross between a harp and a squeeze box and sang us a song of a country guy who gave up the good life to work in a Refinery, it was called the (Idiot song.) She had a good voice and we could relate well to the song.

We have sent a couple of small boxes home and today we have filled another to send home "cause they are cheaper here and we can save money" is the logic for spending money!
