Tennessee



This morning we did not go to the CDL, however we did not sleep in late. We got up and headed off to Tennessee this morning. We arrived at the Museum of Appalachia around 11:30 and explored until about 3:30. Around 1:15 we ate lunch at the little diner at the museum. At this museum there were many different buildings that ranged from homes to school houses. This was a very interesting place to attend not only were all the buildings we saw interesting but about halfway through the little 'village' there were two people playing instruments and singing. This was Appalachian music, as they so said. While walking to the different buildings we encountered a few animals. There were roosters, peacocks, salamanders, and goats. We all got excited when it came to seeing these animals that we tried feeding them, which worked and kept us busy for longer. We finally gave up on the animals and explored the gift shop then went back on the road to Berea. Once back to Berea we had a little time off until Taryn, Katrina, Dr. Johnson, and I attended the Berea Alumni Bluegrass concert on campus. They even sang one of our trip songs, "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive', which we all loved. After the concert us four went to Papalino's for a late dinner because we did not have dinner yet. The pizza was the best that we had yet. We are all preparing now for our last day at the CDL.
