Day 9 of 11 Driving across the continent

I got up late - barely made breakfast!

I drove back into downtown Lexington to find the recommended internet cafe, had breakfast, researched my day, then got back into the car determined to see the famous horse farms.

I drove and drove and drove and saw all kinds of stunning, rolling scenery. I didn't know that the majority of the barns and fences are all black! And they're all four-railers, the farmer's discreet sign of wealth.

In addition to horses, I saw mini horses, one of which I'm sure is named Justin, and he was very curious about me, camels (they, too, were very curious about me but I was wary of their bites and spit) and Alpaca.

At the end of the day, I stayed another night at the Suites and went to bed early.

This is the black-barned Lexington:
