Kayak on a River


Kayaking and whitewater rafting are a lot of fun! Everyone should try it at least once!










Ride a Train to Nantahala Gorge, North Carolina


Riding a train is one of the wonderful ways to experience Nantahala Gorge and the autumn explosion of colorful leaves in North Carolina. Whether you go by car, hiking, or take the Great Smoky Mountain Railway, it is one beautiful place to enjoy the mountains and the beautiful scenery of the USA. The train leaves twice a day from Brice City and takes you on a trip through some of the most amazing autumn foliage to a river and more. It is only 3 hours drive from Atlanta, GA, and well worth it.

Promenade on The Tennessee River

Rivers call me to them. When I see a river I want to go to it, feel it, listen to it, be in it and a part of it, and go where it goes. As a child, I swam in many rivers and lakes in many different countries with my brothers and cousins. I still swim in them whenever I can. The rivers always seem to be going somewhere and that was what I loved about them. So, when I had the opportunity to see the Tennessee River, I greatly enjoyed stopping and being part of it for a few hours.
The Tennessee River flows through Chattanooga, Tennessee and meanders it's way down through Alabama and towards Mississippi before returning to Tennessee. It was also known as the Cherokee River and gets it's name from a Cherokee village called Tanasi.
I hope you enjoy my promenade on the Tennessee River and go meet a river near you soon.
