Pardon Me Boy, Is That The----

The Chattanooga Choo Choo

How nice of them to make a banner welcoming us!
Oh, that's smiles not Smillies...

Yes, we are in Chattanooga and it is even better than we had hoped for!   We are docked on the city's waterfront wall in the center of this renovated city. Each day we have walked until we are ready to drop. Then we take the free shuttle, or sit down for a snack and walk some more. Shopping, museums, restaurants, the aquariums are all within walking distance.  It's killing us, but we can't help ourselves -- we don't want to miss anything.

Here we are next to the water cannons and the waterfall steps that lead to the aquariums.

Time out on this nice cushy sofa!



The real Delta Queen is directly across
the river from us.

Every block of the North Shore has dance steps
embedded in the sidewalk.
In case you didn't recognize -- The Mambo.
I could only do the twist!

Waterfall steps above the water cannons  
that lead from our boat to the aquarium

Salt water and fresh water aquariums

The pirates have taken over the aquarium

No sign of the pirates...
but we found their parrots (Macaws)

A trip to Racoon & Lookout Mountains
gives us a different view of the Tennessee River

Goodnight Chattanooga ---
Tomorrow we start our trip towards the Tombigbee.


Gotta smile -- We're lovin the ride!
