The Travelling Writer: Underground Caves and Hot Rain

Some tips in Tennessee (or at least Knoxville!):

1. Southerners are either conservative, or crazy. Be careful what you say to either type.
2. Everything is big, except for America's largest underground lake, which was surprisingly smaller than expected.

3. Knoxville has some of the friendliest people, but they still don't carpool.

4. Heat and rain often come together, the worst of both world's can combine in TN.

5. Sweet tea is a southern favourite!

6. Public transport in Knoxville, and a lot of Tennessee, is sh*t.

7. Fresh food is hard to find (hence the largeness of not only objects, but people too.)

8. Enjoy every moment and take every oppurtunity, you don't wanna miss out on an adventure :)

And all of this I learnt in the last 24 hours! Life here is for the most part spectacular. I've made some fabulour friends and been on some fun adventures, in less than one week! I miss everyone at home insanely but I'm also very distracted and it often heads toward the back of my mind.
