A day off...
7 May - Ripley OH: 0.0 miles
... with good friends - no better way to spend a vacation day.
I should always remember to schedule an off day on these trips - they heal the physical aches as well as recharge the soul. We began the day by attending a service at the Red Oak Church, then toured the adjoining cemetery where Aunt Jemima is buried. For the afternoon we went to the movies (Mission Impossible 3), amazed that they only charged $3 a ticket. (Try close to $10 back home!) Steve then took us on a tour of Ripley's historic sites associated with the Underground Railroad. (In that era, the town was known as the Blakc Hole of Abolitionism.) Steve and Darcy then treated us to a first-class dinner of grilled steaks and Zatarans rice.
