Week 843, More Sightseeing

Josh and I had a busy week last week.  On Sunday, we couldn't get to our apartment after church due to a football game, so we drove to Richmond.  It was neat seeing the city, but one of the coolest things we saw was the Hollywood Cemetery.  This cemetery is the burial place of two US Presidents, Jefferson Davis, over 18,000 Confederate soldiers and the most Confederate Officers of any cemetery.  We didn't have the camera with us, so I took some pictures from my cell phone.

This was a pyramid built to honor the women of the civil war (?)

 James Madison's Tomb.  Looks like a big birdcage.

On Wednesday, Josh's old mission companion came into town for a job interview so we spent the day sightseeing with him.  First we went to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and got to see the new $100 dollar bills.  It was interesting to see the whole printing process.  We also got to see a bunch of secret service people getting the first class tour on the actual printing floor.

And just in case you were wondering what $1 million looks like, here it is in $10 denomination
