Bourbon

While I recover from another Walmart haircut, Bill, Theresa and I went on a very nice guided tour of the Woodford Reserve Distillery. This place is incredibly photogenic. The buildings are very old, circa 1892, and are beautiful. The stills are huge copper vessels, the fermenting tanks look like 7,500 gallon hot tubs. The vibe is like a Nappa Valley winery. Classy, old money, no expense spared, picture perfect, but not snooty.

The still room was made for photography, wood floors, old brick, real copper. I could have spent the day just taking pictures. If you ever find yourself in the neighborhood of Frankfort, Kentucky, this is a good use for a $5 bill. They even give you a shot of their good bourbon at the end of the tour and you keep the, (plastic), shot glass. They make other adult beverages too, and I understand that few things help ease a girl out of her pants better than the products shown below.

Next we visited the lovely state capitol. I can't remember seeing a prettier capitol building anywhere.

The roads here are beautiful too. Horses, fenced lawns half the size of the National Mall, rocky outcroppings, all conspire to make picture postcard scenes where ever you look.

Tomorrow we head to Nashville. More then.
