The River Tour
There really never is a dull moment with me and my Brazilian. We always manage to find the best adventures ever! Fortunately for us, the TVA dam was on and the water was flowing pretty good! We absolutely loved every minute of all of the beauty that was around us! I gave Marcos the grand tour of the Olympic section, where the raft guides typically put in for the middle trips, the different rapids, and we even got to see some kayaker's go down the river. It was absolutely perfect! We also found a flag pole with Brazil on it, since they were in the Olympics years ago.
Video Clips from our excursion
It was so fun to go climbing in the Olympic section showing Marcos the ropes of the river. I definitely can't wait for us to go back for the rafting season to go rafting. Being out there in the river made me miss rafting so much. Marcos hasn't really went rafting like this and it is going to be loads of fun when we do finally get to go rafting together, it's right around the corner!
Marcos Tries Fried Pickles
I of course had to introduce Marcos to fried pickles, it's only a Southern tradition! Good news is that Marcos definitely really enjoyed the fried pickles and definitely understands why they are such a big deal, but not only that, he tried fried pickles at the best place on the river, the Damn Deli. I was definitely excited for one thing that they were open at this time as well!
To the Rocky Mountains!
The Tennessee Rocky Mountains were absolutely gorgeous that day. Marcos and I enjoyed every minute! The whole adventure going to the top was just awesome and I'm so glad I got to give Marcos the grand tour of the Tennessee Rocky Mountains before he left. Granted it was still winter time when we went up there and it wasn't exactly green, but it was still so beautiful and perfect! I love being a goofball with my Brazilian. He truly is my happy place and always knows the right things to say and do to put a smile on my face. I am so grateful God blessed me with such an amazing man!!!
