Day 14 Lexington, Kentucky

 I got up this morning and feasted on the perfect breakfast food, leftover pepperoni pizza. Since there was no rush to do anything this bright and sunny morning, I went out for an early morning walk and saw that just around the corner they were setting up for the Saturday morning farmers market. It was a pretty big deal as there were at least 50 stands being filled with produce, baked goods, and some really good looking edibles. Sylvia was up in the room, so I called her to get ready and come down and check it out. Everything there looked really good and I bought tomatoes and two little pound cakes. It was not the cheapest farmers market I was ever at, but in these times who knows what a good price is anymore.

Farmers Market (It goes on down the sides streets too)

Once Sylvia got there we walked around and stopped at the Visitor's Center and checked out the history of Lexington and how it became America's most famous horse breeding center. Zim's Cafe (www.zimscafe.com) was in the same building and we looked in to see what was going on, and it looked pretty good. We went in intending to have a Mimosa, but one look at the Brunch menu and we got hungry. We immediately decided to do brunch. Sylvia had the Breakfast Platter, and I had the Bluegrass Benedict. Both were well executed and very tasty. Good enough to keep lively discussions under control.

We didn't do much the rest of the day except walk around. We stopped at Agave & Rye for a not very good, but expensive Margarita. And later, we weren't very hungry, but thought we should eat, decided on Oscar Diggs, mostly because I liked the name. It turns out Oscar Diggs was going out of business in 3 more days. There was hardly anybody there but a bartender from Virginia Beach and a cook from Maryland, We had a really nice conversation with them and talked about their plans. They seemed happy they were getting on with life. The food wasn't great and they were out of most things, but we split a burger that wasn't too bad. 

That was it for the day, we went back to the hotel and semi packed. We're heading home tomorrow and I'd like to get an early start. Although, I'm the only one who'd like that.
