Nauvoo the Beautiful

I haven't written in this blog for a long, long time!  But now that we are in Nauvoo, I want to share all the interesting things we are learning and seeing.  Nauvoo is right by the Mississippi River.  Last Wednesday we drove across the Mississippi on a bridge to Ft. Madison, and then down to Montrose.  That's where this picture is taken from.  When the pioneers left Nauvoo in February, 1846 this river was frozen, which made it easier for them to cross.
