our last day

We set out bright and early for the hills o' Tennessee. Our plan was that some would ride horseback and some would ride bikes, and we would meet up in the middle. However, when the bikers saw that the bikes were old fashioned one speed antiques, they opted for the horses. So off we went at a full gallop. We could barely hang on to our saddle horns as these swift stallions from ---- raced through the woods. It seemed like forever, but finally we were able to slow down and catch our breath. I did not know if we would ever make it back. Fortunately, no one got hurt, and we made it back to the van in time to decide that maybe we were more exhausted than we first realized. By now everyone was hungry, so we stopped at an unlikely "family" restaurant that served frog legs and fried green tomatoes. (I am not kidding). We tried both, although I think only Forrest and Emily tried the frog legs. It was a most amazing eating experience. I looked for the cook and congratulated her on her amazing talents. Imagine this. We ordered frog legs, fried green tomatoes, fried chicken, fish sandwiches, pancakes, french toast, turnip greens, omelettes, shrimp baskets, country fried steak and baked catfish, and I am probably forgetting something, but this woman (from Mississippi had all of this food out to our table in less than 20 minutes, and it was all hot and really good. The tea, soda, etc was served in Mason jars.
So, afterwards, there was a group that was complaining that they were tired and did not want to do anything else (hike, ride, sightsee, etc.) so they went home in one van, and the rest of the crew went to Gatlinburg where they saw a 4-D movie, and then rode go-karts and cubicle roller-coaster, and then we came home. It is 7 pm now, and we are going to eat again, then pack up the vans and leave early in the mornin. We are full. It has been wonderful, and just right, and we are full. we will be glad to get home. Thanks a lot. RC
