Road Trip '08 - Day 5

Day 5 was busy and eventful. We began the day by doing more around Nauvoo, including visiting the Printing Shop and John Taylor's Home. That afternoon we drove to Carthage to visit the jail where Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred. That was a sobering experience to be where the Prophet lost his life. It was a time for reflection. Then we went back to Nauvoo and finished up seeing the last few things we had missed. We went to the Family Living Center and learned how to make clothes, bread, candles, rope, pottery, and barrels. I don't know how those pioneers did it all!! That night we went to a show at the Cultural Hall called "Rendez-vous at Old Nauvoo." It is put on by the senior missionaries and they entertained by showing what life was like back then.
