From Kentucky to Tennessee





This was an interesting day - we began with a stop at the Mammoth Cave National Park (www.nps.gov/maca) which is just north of Bowling Green, KY. We really enjoyed the park of the park we saw and it really gave us a taste of this unique place.

We had just enough time to make it to a 1030 service at St. James UMC in Bowling Green which turned out to be a real treat! We decided on Bowling Green since it was a college town (Western Kentucky Univ.) and we thought there would be a good place to attend a service and we were right. The service was nice but the best part was being invited to attend the fellowship time afterwards. We sat with four delightful church ladies who made us feel like we were family!

We then made our way to a neat museum we had seen on our way into the city, the National Corvette Museum (www.corvettemuseum.com) is neat! Devoted to the classic American sports car, it is a great place even for non-car types like the two of us!!!

Then it was off again, now for our destination for the coming week: Nashville, Tennessee!

We rolled into the capital of Tennessee, checked into our hotel, and then set off on the town. Belinda decided to take it easy for a bit, so Charles went for a walk around the area and found some of the historic churches that make this area more than just a music center. He also found a street concert being sponsored by the First Baptist Church (www.firstbaptistnashville.org) and featuring the evangelist, Luis Palau. It was an interesting, loud, and festive scene to be sure!!! He also took in the Charlie Daniels museum which is very small, but a lot of fun.
Coming back to fetch Belinda for supper, we made our way back down to where the crowd still gathered and enjoyed the energy of the Sunday evening crowd.

Tomorrow promises to be another full day, so come on back!
