...AND WE'RE OFF... early on a Sunday morning! |
|
|
Today much of the time was spent on the road. Our first stop was at the Lost River church building in Bowling Green, Kentucky, where we joined in the morning worship service.
 |
That evening we arrived at the Stewarts Park church building in Cross Lanes, West Virginia. Students and fellow travelers enjoyed visiting after evening services. We traveled approximately 650 miles from Athens today. Tomorrow we will be going to Gettysburg and Hershey, Penn. |
|
|
At Gettysburg National Park the students were shown how the men loaded and fired the cannons during the war.
