Scott's and us. They did the job we were supposed to do in the office: transportation and housing. We were sure glad we didn't have to do it. They arrived about a month before us.

Bentonville where the biggest battle in North Carolina was fought during the civil war.
This battle was fought on private property. The house behind me was turned into a hospital for the wounded soldiers. The family took care of the soldiers until they were either well or passed away. There was a graveyard where the soldiers that died were buried.
Monument to the battle.
Jewlery that the Burmese gave me. I didn't bring it home; so I took a picture of it.
