Since the day I arrived in the US, I have had this childish desire to eat KFC in Kentucky. I know it sounds a bit silly and KFC is still going to taste the same, but I just wanted to do it. Not being able to drive in the US posed a severe restriction. I will have to hire a cab and go find a KFC outlet in Kentucky.
This is when I ran into Ed and Tanya at the local pub, Madonna’s, which I frequented to have dinner and play pool. Ed was an excellent pool player. We got to know each other better over numerous bottles of beer and equally numerous games of pool. Then one Friday, Ed offered to drive me around the country side out of Cincinnati. I gleefully jumped at the offer and we fixed to meet up the next day afternoon outside the hotel I was staying at.
Saturday afternoon, Ed was there and called me saying he was waiting downstairs. So, I picked up my camera and went there. I was pleasantly surprised to see Ed waiting there with Tanya driving a Hummer.

Boy, little did I expect my other silly wish to be granted, riding in a Hummer, that is.
So, off we went across the bridge on Ohio River to a nice little place called Batavia, to pick up Ed's sister Sandy.

Sandy lived in one of the most picturesque places I have seen There was a neat little pond by her house and the place was so serene and peaceful. 
The three of them burst out laughing when I expressed my desire to eat KFC in Kentucky. They thought it was cute. So, off we went to KFC in Kentucky. The chicken tasted exactly the same as any KFC and service was pathetic. But hey, I went to KFC in Kentucky....

From there we proceeded to a local pub for a few beers and of course some pool.
On the whole, it was one of the best days I have had in my two month stay in the US.
