Yesterday morning we got the courtesy car and went to the Shiloh Battlefield National Park. The visit started with a 45 minute movie that explained the battles and the maneuvering of the union and confederate armies. Then we took a driving tour for about 13 miles that wound through the battlefield. There were markers and monuments describing key events. The whole experience was very educational. There were 23,746 casualties in the 2 day battle.

After our tour we went to have lunch at the Catfish Hotel. No outside pictures as it was pouring rain. Food was plentiful and inexpensive. The remains will be dinner tonight.
After a relaxing afternoon 6 of us caught the shuttle to Freddy T's for drinks and dinner. Looked like a Key West wannabe in Tennessee.
