Guided Tour
I had family members from Finland come over for a visit this week. They were impressed by the kindness and hospitality of the people in the South, which was totally contrary to their European media-promoted image of arrogant and callous Americans. East Tennessee is a treasure trove of attractions, too. Around Knoxville, there are the Museum of Appalchia, the Big South Fork Scenic Railway and the American Museum of Science and Energy. All this even before heading out to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg! My cousin being a train enthusiast, we also drove to Chattanooga and visited the Tennessee valley Railroad Museum and Chattanooga Choo-Choo. My folks left with a special place in their heart for Rocky Top.

As a native ETN, it's nice to hear that. I hope they visit again.
Glad to hear they had a good visit. How did you keep them away from all the Republicans? ;)
As a native East Tennessean of [part] Finnish descent, I'm not surprised. Finns love the Museum of Appalachia. Go figure.
