Indianapolis-

We made it to Indianapolis last night, driving from Marietta with a nice stop in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to visit the beautiful Stones River National Battlfield Park. The park is at the site of one of the bloodiest conflicts of the civil war. It is nice battlefield, certainly not one of the largest or most important battlefields but remarkable in it's beauty and simplicity. There are not monuments every few feet like you find at many civil war sites. It is just a beautiful place, it's hard to reconcile the carnage which happened there with the serenity that one finds today.





We arrived in Indianapolis, just before raging thunderstorms last night. We will be staying here probably about 5 or 6 days and plan to attend the Indy 500 this weekend. We are staying with Michael's sister Michele and two of her sons. Her husband Jerome has left to open their Canadian fishng lodge. And she has two more sons away at college. Kathy's father & brother will be flying in to go to the race as well.
