Day 62 - 74 Miles to Bardstown

Saturday, July 26 - 74 miles to Bardstown (pop. 10,374), 3,611 total miles. And a happy reunion with Kathy! Traveled again with the group of 5 others (sisters Blair & Austa, one from Portland, OR, and one from New York; Mark & John from Arizona, and Gary, a Virginia middle school teacher.) My diet was more fruit (melon, apple, bananas, and pluots), salad and fish today. A pluot is a cross hybrid consisting of 3/4's plum and 1/4 apricot. I ate 4 pluots today and they are juicy and delicious. The temperature was in the 90s and the humidity high and hot, humid summer days are returning. Moderately hilly today, not bad, but it's expected to change as I move into the Appalachians. The highlight of my day was pulling into the Comfort Inn and seeing Kathy. Air conditioning is wonderful and so nice. We went to Mass at a beautiful church, Basilica of Saint Joseph Proto-Cathedral. Then, we dined at The Old Talbott Tavern which sure beats ramen noodles. We both had salmon, salad, wild rice, biscuits, and vegetables.
