I’m not feeling so hot but I’m going to try to bust this out. I had a really nice time riding for the first 55 miles, but for some reason I started getting really dizzy and the last 20 were a bit tough. I don’t know if it was heat or what.
Today was some really gorgeous countryside. Berea is a very cool city. Culture, food, history. I’m having a hard time comprehending how tomorrow is supposed to be hillbilly central.
I’m currently in a very nice hotel, the Boone Tavern Hotel in the center of Berea. I had dinner in the dining room which was a really cool experience. The decor was very… Eastern? Southern? Tall ceilings, crystal chandeliers, elegant curtains and white tablecloth. I tried some high-falutin’ fried green tomatoes, and some Kentucky style porkchops. They had a sorghum mustard(as opposed to honey mustard) dressing for my salad, too!
Berea has some nice shops and the college is supposed to be a hub of learning here. I wish I had some time to take a rest day here.
Don’t know what happened earlier today, but I hope it doesn’t happen again. I’m exhausted, time for bed.

changes in atmosphere, altitude. the water,too much food,too much natural food. Your body is telling you not to eat that good stuff! It’ll kill ya.
New alergies from new plants in the area. Come home to the good old dirty air and chemically treated non organic culinary experiences. Stay safe LOve XXXOOOXXXMOM
ps culture started there. The west is just getting started. Hollywood doesn’t count as culture.
