Instead of looking at scenery and into museums, I'm dividing my days between the Y and books, mico fishe, and computers.
The northeast part of Kentucky is just beautiful. So I took the long way. There are endless cotton fields (never saw that before) Right inside the fence of a farm I was passing, a calf was born (another first... for the calf too).
I arrived in Indiana and headed straight for the central library in Evansville. To do the geneology research on my paternal side, we made this trip last year. I was prepared for many town libraries between here and Newburgh, the town in which my family lived.... about 5 miles away. Each library has its own little (some big) research center with local news and pictures that can't be found on line. Going through the yearbooks, I found a picture of my father's 1923 senior high school class. It's really a fun thing to do.
The libraries and the Y are open shorter hours during the weekend, so I'll play tourist. It's a pretty riverside town and hopefully this great weather will continue.
I asked one of the researchers if he did his family history. "No", he said, "I don't like geneology. It takes too much traveling". Guess I'm just lucky.
