Kara in Knoxville

Hi everyone! It is Kara from Knoxville, Tennessee!  I am so exited to be in Knoxville.  I like the name Knoxville a lot.  It reminds me of something you might find in a Dr. Seuss book.   Knoxville has more than just a cool name though, it also has a lot of cool things to do.

First thing to mention is the Knoxville Marathon.  Had a nice run through the hills with my running pal.  Blue skies and cool air.

Another highlight was the Neyland Stadium. That is where the University of Tennessee football players (a.k.a The Volunteers) play football. According to some fans of the team I met at the stadium, it is like a shrine to them.  I am not sure if I would call the places I run shrines but I guess that's a football thing.  This area is also known for being the home of the 1982 World's Fair,  which 16 countries participated in.

We also visited the Sunsphere which in my opinion, looks like a golden disco ball on a stick. Originally built for the World's Fair, now you can go into the Sunsphere to check out the 360 degree view from the observation deck.
Knoxville = ***** :)

Take an elevator up to the observation deck...it's free!
