We were treated to a tour of the anatomy lab at Lincoln Memorial University, where the cadaver dissections take place.  The “no photography” rules were strictly enforced, but we  were allowed to take pictures in the model room, where plastic models of body parts are stored.  No cadavers were allowed to be viewed out of respect for the donors.

We hiked a trail at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and stopped by the Cumberland Falls for a color tour.  The falls and Cumberland River are so pretty, and Enzo enjoys running around the shoreline and exploring.  After visiting the falls, we headed south to Knoxville for some shopping and people watching.

We miss you already, Nicki!

We spent most of the time at the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, where we hiked for a few miles before driving to the Pinnacle Overlook for spectacular views.  This park and overlook are barely a mile from Nicki’s dorm.  The park is situated where Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia meet, so it’s easy to forget which state you’re in.  We left Nicki’s dorm in Tennessee, entered the park a half mile away in Kentucky, then stood at the overlook in Virginia.

Today we’ll head to Knoxville to see what we can find there.
