Headin' down South

We left Gabi's house and headed south to Tennessee, passing through Kentucky on the way. In true nature of 'when in Rome..', we headed to a KFC to sample from the source.
We were pretty disappointed by the KFC BUFFET!! Which was a horrific combination of overcooked 'vegetables', badly fried chicken and entertaining customers.

We headed onwards to Nashville to try out our second couchsurf.
Driving through the streets of Antioch (the town we were staying in) we wondered about all the piles of rubble and half houses that we kept seeing. We later found out from our hosts that there had been a terrible flood in Nashville, and what we'd seen was the aftermath.

We arrived in Antioch in the early evening and met our couchsurfing hosts for the next two night, Beth and Tom, and their crazy cat Polly (who likes to jump at walls)!
Tom is an artist, and Beth, a photographer. They gave us a tour of their amazingly artistic home and showed us our SEPERATE bedrooms (a luxury that's rare on the road!). We then settled down for a lovely home cooked dinner, which was so refreshing after all the fried food at the rest stops. We shared some English shortbread and some Gin and Tonic's and settled down for a lovely evening of chats and drinks.
