On the road again
27 April 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
Well we are back on the road again! Today is a driving day, headed to Nashville for a couple of nights. Long driving day, listening to an audiobook called The River of Doubt, about Theo. Roosevelt's trip down the Amazon after losing his third bud for the presidency. Drive day was uneventful.Baca lagi

Hari 2
Mammoth Cave NP
28 April 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F
Today we drove 1 1/2 hrs north from Nashville to finally visit Mammoth Cave. We took a 2 hr walking tour that was labeled as "strenuous" and they weren't kidding. Although only .75 mile in distance, we had over 500 stair steps, both up and down, and also some very narrow passages. Larry bumped his head several times too. The tour started with 289 steps down into the cavern, and the steps and handrails were damp and slippery. Our tour guide Jeff, was a great storyteller about those early covers who explored the depths. Over 400 miles of caves have been explored and mapped with no end in sight. After the tour, we took a short walk in the woods to enjoy the park above ground. Had dinner at a diner in Bowling Green on the way back to Nashville.Baca lagi

Hari 3
HIGH SCHOOL REUNION 50yrs +2
29 April 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
We drove from Nashville to Memphis today. Drove around the neighborhood I grew up in, had lunch at a local dive bar, then checked into the hotel to get ready for my high school reunion. I have not attended any previous reunions so this was pretty weird. I have not seen these people since we were all 18. We had a very nice reception at the Memphis Children's Museum. I was surprised to be recognized by some old friends and we all had a good time catching up on each others' lives. There was a carousel in the museum that many of us rode as children at the fairgrounds.Baca lagi

Hari 4
Reunion continued
30 April 2022, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
This morning we had a visit to White Station High School with a brief reception and tours of the school. It still looks very much like it did 52 years ago. Current cheerleaders led us in the school song and the current principal spoke. There was even one of our teachers present, the chorus teacher.
We had the afternoon free and went downtown to the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel. It is an amazing and moving historical sight, the museum was so well done and emotional. We had time to go back to the hotel and change and get ready for the reunion banquet. It was at the Guesthouse at Graceland, a very swanky hotel and event center.
The food was good and there was more socializing, with a dj and dancing for those inclined after dinner. All in all it was such a nice weekend, so interesting to see all those old people I once knew. They all turned out to be pretty nice folks.Baca lagi

We went to church at First Assembly where I attended during nursing school, except it is in a newer bigger facility east of Memphis. Had lunch and made a quick stop at a quirky site I never knew about when living in Memphis. It is called Crystal Grotto, in a cemetery in east Memphis. It is a mam made cave totally covered in quartz crystals, with scenes from the life of Jesus depicted in several different art forms. Well worth the time to visit.
Then the drive to Branson, an adventure in country roads! Only the first third of the 5 hr trip was interstate. Then miles of hilly, two lane country roads but very pretty scenery thru the Ozark mountains.
Checked into Wyndham Branson Mountain Vista resort for 3 nightsBaca lagi

We went into KC today to the National WW1 museum where Larry spent a few hours. I took a free streetcar downtown to City Market and wandered around. Found a great game store and spent awhile looking at games, bought one. Picked up bbq sandwiches from Pigtown and ride the streetcar back to the museum to meet Larry for a late lunch. Made chili for dinner and had it ready when Kristen and Dennis got home from work.Baca lagi

Dennis and Kristen took us out sightseeing today. We went to downtown Liberty where they have lived for over 20 years, walked around town square and had lunch. Then drove into Kansas to see the Stesmboat Arabia museum, about a steamboat that sunk in the 1850s and its cargo was not recovered until the 1980s. It was really interesting.Baca lagi
