We passed through (or almost touched) seven states today. We woke up in Kansas City, which is part in Kansas and part in Missouri. We drove across Missouri to St. Louis where we saw the famed Archway to the West.
Across the mighty Mississippi River, we entered Illinois. We stopped for lunch in Nashville, a little town of 3,148. That’s right–there’s a Nashville, Illinois as well as a Paris, Naples, Camden, Detroit, Florence, Albany, Arlington, and Topeka, Illinois…so confusing. Like most places, we enjoyed good food and good people. The owner laughed at my vegetarian diet but was happy to accommodate with mac & cheese, cole slaw and flowers. 
From Illinois we entered Indiana and drove up to branch of the Ohio River, where we came to the intersection of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. I was very impressed with the natural beauty of Kentucky. The lush green hills of Lexington with all the horse farms were especially beautiful. 
From Kentucky we entered West Virginia where we decided to stay the night. Chalk up another state capitol–Charleston, WV. This was probably our longest driving day but it went well. The weather has been consistently nice and the company is always excellent.
