1st Leg: Richmond --->Nashville
We finished packing everything Sunday night at about midnight. I think we both kind of avoided the reality that we had to pack for 6 months so last minute seemed to work best for both of us. Monday morning it was hard to leave home. Good things (doing YWAM) are often hard things (leaving home, knowing I won't see my family until February).
Thanks to Tommy and Elizabeth Verna, we hooked up with some of their friends who live in Nashville. This couldn't have worked out better. We got in town around 6:00 and ended up at some Honkey Tonk bar for a drink and a bite to eat. We walked around the super-touristy area of Nashville and really enjoyed the fact that in every bar or restaurant there was a band playing. Everywhere we walked there was someone walking by with a guitar.
After a little taste of the Country Music Capitol we went back to the Goodsell's house and spent the evening getting to know them, exchanging music and stories. Earlier in the night we had gone into a country music record store and almost bought a random cd since we didn't have much music for the road. He didn't realize that our music collection was completely lame and almost non-existent but our new friend Rusty ended up burning us 7 mix CDs for our road trip. Rusty- if you are reading this, thanks for getting us through Arkansas.
