Driving out of Gatlinburg and watching the setting sun, thinking about leaving all these wonderful people behind in a couple of weeks time really brought a tear to my eye. It is just best to think that with this globe of ours getting smaller all the while, it will be likely to meet a lot of these people again under different skies.
Here are some pictures, hopefully they convey the thousand words I cannot find on my keyboard.
Compare with the snowy shot of the campus in the first posts |
Tasty cake! |
From Dollywood. They had mad hatters. |
Some of the rides were pretty amazing. |
Apparently Dollywood had a festival of nations when we went there, appropriate! |
Some of the guys showing where they're from. |
Never smile in a picture with a flag in it. |
After a long day at Dollywood, we retired to the hotel. |
Streetview from Gatlinburg, TN. I dig the vehicle. |
We also took a chairlift ride in Gatlinburg. |
