Knoxville, Tennessee!!!!!!! :)
Wooooow! :)
Made it! What an incredible ride. It's taking me longer than expected, with so much gorgeous scenery, including lots of hills to climb up and glide down. The leaves are turning colors, making for an autumnal rainbow of splendor. Some trees have big leaves making gigantic abstract green sculptures all over the place. I'm encountering lots of friendly folks and a few unfriendly ones! :) And overall it's just a magical place and time to be, here and now in Tennessee.
In Knoxville, there's the big sunsphere from the World's Fair:
As soon as I got into town, I came across a big bicycle event. The city had shut down a major part of the streets to vehicular traffic, and many fine people were out on foot and bicycle.
The Market Square has a bunch of restaurants and outdoors decorations, and was a location where Elvis got some important early airplay.
Lots more happening, and to look forward to!!! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
