Cornville, IL




Crossing into a new timezone, we stepped back in time to a sleepy farm-town by the name of Hindsboro, Illinois. Home to many of Al's not so distant relatives, we ate coconut cream pie, and looked at a bunch of dead people (don't worry, they were buried). We stayed with Ned and Phillis, who showed us as much kindness as they showed us corn; and there was a LOT of corn around there. We took a Jeep tour through Amish country, and visited some mini-donkeys. I had trouble petting them because I kept thinking that they were far away. I guess my depth perception needs to get better. One mistook Al's Showco shirt for food, so we had to slaughter it. It turns out donkey steak goes well with corn.

    Glad you got to meet some of the relatives (living and dead). We only let you meet about 1/20 of the live ones we have (and these are the GOOD ones!) Safe travels.
