Going East Day #3: Salina, KS to Nauvoo, IL 448 miles

Today was an exciting day, all new territory.  We loved Kansas, the rolling hills and the beautiful fields of grain.  We then entered Missouri and made a quick stop in Hannibal where we snapped a few photos of Mark Twain memorabilia. We then entered Illinois and spent the evening exploring Nauvoo- we have not been here for years!  Nothing was open except a gas station for dinner so we ate pizza on a picnic table in the parking lot - fun adventure!  But our favorite was watching the fireflies as we walked through the historic buildings at dusk!  We met a very sweet lady from Ecuador who had taught church history in her ward for 40 years and was in tears that she finally was in Nauvoo, she said it felt like a dream!  Sweet experience! 
We are looking forward to attending the temple tomorrow!
