FAREWELL PARTY IS A BITTERSWEET DAY

Matt and Nanette Pride hosted our Farewell Party at their lovely home near Hartselle on Saturday, May 16.  The Pride's grilled hot dogs and hamburgers and everyone brought picnic fare to share.  We all had a great time but it was a bittersweet day because it was the last time many of us would see one another.

CHATTONOOGA TRIP A LOT OF FUN

On April 18, we traveled to Chattanooga to spend the day with our CIEE friends from Tennessee.  We started the day with a lunch cruise on the Tennessee River which included a deluxe deli buffet. Next, we visit the world famous Tennessee Aquarium. After the aquarium, we had free time in downtown Chattanooga to enjoy the many restaurants, street vendors, shops, art galleries, and the walking bridge across the river to a riverside park and more shops.
