October 16- K's View.

As we were packing up to leave our hotel, we met a Belgian man who got to talking to us. This was one of many trips he has taken to America.  He was so nice. He gave us his ice chest that he was just going to throw out. It even had food in it still!

We left our hotel in Atlanta to head downtown to the capitol. We found out that there really was a city that had driver’s worse that San Antonio, and that’s saying something!

We got down to the capitol and saw some security guards/ policemen there. Ok. We hear that there was something going on down there, but we didn’t know what. There was a protest going on! Well, no pictures at the Atlanta capitol then. We tried to get a few pictures, but it was very hard with all of the people.

 

We left the capitol and got stopped at a red light and saw a policeman on a motorcycle leading a group of limousines.  In one of them, there was a French official of some sort, being escorted by the police and followed by his posse.

We left Atlanta and started driving through Georgia to get to North Carolina. The colors were BEAUTIFUL! They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I’m taking 600-1200 pictures a day. How many words is that?

 

After looking at different scenic lookouts, (and a gas station that sold live fish for bait,) we came to an adorable town called Elijay. It was so cute! I just wanted to pack up and move there! It was pretty busy because they were having an apple festival.   Thee streets were packed, so Mamma decided that we would go back-roading. We went down a very steep hill, IN OUR VAN! Out van is old, our van does not like hills. I DON’T THINK THIS IS A VERY GOOD IDEA!!!!!!!! Hehe, hey this is kind of fun!

 

I loved this old bridge.  I wish I knew more about it!

 

Look twice, save a life. I think we all know someone who was killed, or seriously injured in a motorcycle accident.

 

We saw this beautiful creek and had to stop. This was the first place that we had to use our sweaters…… I LOVE the cold weather!

 

We spent the night in Bryson City, in a little motel. They were having a small music festival that we walked around at. I got the BEST homemade apple cider and I also got a new pocket knife!

The Great Smokey Mountains were stunning. I have had SOO much fun so far! I wish I could relive it any time I wished. I am truly blessed to be sharing this with my wonderful Mamma and sister.
