Indiana and Kentucky

On Monday, I toured the Toyota assembly plant in Princeton, Indiana.  Over 4700 people and a lot of robots put together Toyota Highlanders, Sequoias, and Sienna vans.  It was very educational and enjoyable.  They only allowed pictures in the visitors center.


Abraham Lincoln was born near Hodgenville, Kentucky.  The site has a neoclassical memorial building with a log cabin from the original site.  It's probably not the cabin in which he was born, but it comes from the same property in the same era.  A nearby spring was the reason his dad wanted this particular farm, and that is located right at the foot of the hill which houses the memorial.



I spent the night in Bowling Green, Kentucky.  The Lincoln birthplace was in the Eastern Time Zone, but Bowling Green is Central.  I'm right on the line here, but I think I'll be in Central Time for one more day.
