A lovely country drive east from Lexington ends is Paris, KY-- heart of Bourbon County. Named in appreciation for French Aid during the Revolutionary War, Paris is a handsome town with rural charm, an integral downtown and incredibly friendly people. Immediately recognized as an out of tower, a local business owner suggested I visit the chamber of commerce where they would take my picture to put in the newspaper. Who wouldn't want to spend time in a quiet place where the big news is the visit of some random Oregonian? #simplelife
