My Day Off

So, last me and a buddy of mine went to this restaurant/bar called the Brewery...this is were I go for all of my world cup viewing, karaoke, and general good times...well on Monday night they have live trivia. Of course I had to go, but not a whole lot of people were interested so it was just me and my friend. First mistake. You always need 3-5 people for trivia, that's my belief anyways, it also never hurts to have a doctor on your team. It turned out to be a lot of fun, but that extra person would definitely have helped. Oh well lesson learned. I was surprised at the variety of questions. There was an Africa question I got right. Answer: Liberia. Also, there was a question about a fragrance/perfume that a country singer wears, and we had to name that country singer. We did not get that right.

Moving on...

Today was my day off so I decided to take in some of the natural beauty as opposed to the unnatural beauty of Gatlinburg. I went in to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and decided I would hike the Chimney Tops. This is a pretty popular trail, but one I had not climbed before. It was only 2 miles long, 4 round trip, but they failed to mention that it's 2 miles straight up and 2 miles straight down. Dang, I did not realize how out of shape I was. It's all that fried southern food. Mmmmmm. Anyways, it was quite a work out and also very beautiful. When I got to the top I was greeted by a group of Tennessee locals and also a group of Hasidic Jews. True story, here are some photos from my fun-venture!

Also, I went to the Cherokee reservation and took in the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. It was pretty nice.
