Mark's Notebook

Natchez to Jackson MS to Memphis to St. Louis

A quick summary of the last few days, since I haven't had time to post anything.

Right now we are in St. Louis, Missouri. This is the first time we have stayed two nights in one place (except when we were on the gulf coast with CityTeam).

On Monday we toured an 1830's mansion in Natchez. Then we drove up to Jackson.

On Tuesday we visited a very nice Museum of Natural Science in Jackson. Then we drove up to Memphis.

On Wednesday we did a riverboat cruise on the Mississippi River in Memphis. Then we drove up to St. Louis in intermittent heavy rain.

Today we visited the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial, otherwise known as the St. Louis "gateway arch."

Tomorrow we hope to visit the St. Louis Zoo, rated the #1 zoo in the US. One reason we are particularly interested is they have an insectarium. There is also a butterfly zoo somewhere here in town, and botanical gardens too.

Our future plans call for us to head across southern Illinois and Indiana to the Louisville area, then down to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky, hopefully on Saturday. Then maybe we can be in Nashville for church on Sunday.
