Nashville is not nearly as scary as Memphis.

For those of you who have been anxiously waiting for our updates and and have been sitting on the edge of your chairs, wondering where the Nomadic Duo is at the moment, we apologize that we have been having too much fun sight seeing and travelling to sit around blogging. But since we just happen to find ourselves in downtown Nashville at Mike's Ice cream and Coffee Bar with free wifi, we thought we would tell you where we are and what has happened on the trip so far.

Day 1: Left Prescott (yes, Lew was late, but Ark wasn't too upset, yet). Lesson of the day: The human eye can see a long way. Why did God create New Mexico? #1 To give construction workers a job. #2 To make everywhere else look so beautiful. Song of the day: Get your kicks on Route 66 (Thanks James). Destination: Lake Meredith, Texas...one word: AWESOME.

Day 2: Destination: Oklahoma City. Lesson of the day: "Possession is only a misdemeanor not a felony in Oklahoma" (conversation overheard in the downtown library). Why did God create Oklahoma? To make Arizona feel cool. 100 degrees plus humidity is not the ideal way to see the Oklahoma City Memorial. What is the purpose of Historical Markers? To get a cop off your rear. Thank you Andy, Grace, and Ransom for your hospitality.

Day 3: Destination: Memphis (armpit of Tennessee). Have you ever walked through a downtown area with mace in your hand and your thumb on the safety? We have!!! But we were told (in a southern accent): "You ladies are mighty fine." We decided that spending 40 bucks to see Graceland was not worth the money, so we just looked over the wall instead, while talking about how sad entertainment idolism is in the US. Lesson of the day (as seen on a billboard in Memphis): "He's shot. You're sorry. Still dead. Chill, don't kill." Redemption of Memphis: Meeman-Shelby State Park. Absolutely beautiful, nestled in behind mansions and manicured lawns. Fell asleep to a frog symphony and the moon shining through the vines and trees. The Mississippi River at sunset was pretty awesome as well.

Day 4: Destination: Nashville, TN. Toured Bell Meade Plantation and the Parthenon (yes, it's in Nashville not Greece, in case you were wondering). Lesson of the day: Lesson on how to dance the Hustle at the Swing Dance Club this evening.

Overall: We're having fun, praising God for the variety of scenery, people and accents around us. Still waiting for divine and defining moments. Up next: Great Smokies and more lunches at gas stations. Stay tuned.
