On October 22nd, we left our great campsite at the Wal-Mart, HA-HA, and drove a short distance to leave the RV at a closer parking lot while we drove into Nashville. Kathleen’s favorite camping spot has now become Wal-Mart. Kevin liked it at first too thinking it would save us money but Kathleen has put an end to that. There’s always something we need from the Wal-Mart. We found parking downtown but had to walk a few blocks to the capitol where we were given a tour. They capitol was built between 1843 and 1859, and during that time, the Architect and the Building Commissioner were both buried within the walls of the capitol. One of them is buried on the north side and one on the right side of the building. We thought that was quite strange, and definitely the first time we have come across that in our tours of the capitols. Also, President Polk and his wife are buried on the grounds close to the capitol. We liked our tour guide too as she was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed this capitol. We didn’t stay long though, or even see more in the city because Rachel was not feeling well. She was really complaining about feeling bad and looked as white as a ghost. She didn’t even want to walk back to the Jeep so Kevin went and got it then came to pick us up. We went straight back to the RV so she could rest. She did start feeling better and so we left and drove on toward St. Louis, Missouri. We ended up staying at another Wal-Mart this time in Mt. Vernon, Missouri.
