CHATTANOOGY!!!!



So I have just had the pleasure of spending the last five days in Chattanooga,TN.

"Surely you must be joking you say!"
No. For serious. And don't call me Shirley.

I was pleasantly surprised with this little southern town. People are unbelievable here. It's easy to make a friend anywhere. I've been called honey, sweetie and baby more times than I can count. And not in a sketchy way- in a sweet, "Oh it's like you're my mom, but Southern" way.

I explored the choo-choo. It was cool. The Chattanoogans basically took the old train and made it into a boutique hotel. The train cars, the dining cars, the station- it's all there, just stationary. Pretty cool.

I went to the movies twice, I saw two films I was nervous I'd miss being abroad all summer. They made me smile. And cry. And smile. "One Day", an adaption of a book I really enjoyed- and "Crazy Stupid Love"- which was just cute. I recommend both.

I went into a cave and saw an underground waterfall. It was spellbinding.

I drove to Atlanta, and I saw two of the greatest people I know. And ate some damn good pizza. Mission accomplished.
