Talk about a Friday Treat! Ted arranged for us to sleep in this morning, mostly because we have all been under the weather and in need for extra rest. We got up at around 11 this morning and went to lunch in the Berea dining hall around 12. Once again, we hit up our favorite coffee shop and met Ted for the day's adventure. The plan for the day was to check out Harlan County, which is about 2 hours from Berea. Many would wonder, "why on earth would you be going there?" Well, before this trip, we had class every day for a few weeks. During these class periods, we watched a few documentaries, and one of them had a song in it sang by Patty Loveless called "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive." The tune is quite catchy, and we all have been singing it literally nonstop since we've heard it. Because of our little obsession, Ted found a way for us to visit the county/town of Harlan. When we got there, we searched around for some activities to engage in. We explored the visitor's center, and found a person to direct us to an area for picture taking. We followed the directions, and we kind of decided to look for hollers instead of going to the picture spot. Our look for hollers was going quite well, and we got a few nice pictures. However, some of the residents saw us and were not too happy with us...so we had to book it out of there. A man did follow us in his truck, but he turned out to be friendlier than expected.
         After our holler search, we headed back toward Berea, but we made a pit stop along the way in Corbin, KY. This little town is the home of the Kentucky Fried Chicken Museum. Personally, I was sincerely excited about this stop. I worked at KFC for 2 years, and I simply love the restaurant. We got a lot of neat pictures, especially with The Colonel! We enjoyed dinner there as well, and I was interested in seeing the difference in foods that are served at KFC here in Kentucky compared to where I worked in Pennsylvania. Here, they had baked beans, potato salad, and chicken liver, which are all things that my KFC did not have. All in all, it was a nice place to stop and grab some grub. Ted then drove us back to our dorm where we are just hanging out for the evening. We have a few more fun things planned this weekend, so stay tuned!

Here is one of the holler houses we saw.

Kisses for The Colonel!

Ted and the '14's!
