Day 2...Church @ The BLVD, National Civil Rights Museum, Exploring Beale Street, and LOTS of walking! :)

Tonight it is Ethan blogging and I get to tell you guys about church, the civil rights museum, and a walking tour that we took. Our morning started with a trip to the BLVD church, where they had some really talented singers and a really welcoming congregation. We learned about Psalm 121. We talked about how God never sleeps so we are always protected. We also learned that we can't protect someone or something as much as God can. After that we went to the Civil rights museum where we learned about the evolution of the African American rights. We listened to MLK's Mountain Top speech, and we walked through a model of the bus that Rosa Parks got kicked off of. Then we went to Gus's world famous chicken for lunch and had some decent chicken. After that we went 0n a walking tour with a congregation from Wisconsin. On that we learned about Yellow Fever and how many people died from that. Then we had some time to kill so we went and got smoothies while we waited for our concert to start. When we walked to the park for the Jazz concert we we so tired that we ended up listening for long enough for Ian to get deep fried oreos and then we went back to the Hotel to swim and order Papa John's.
