The Parthenon in Nashville. There's also a huge statue of Athena inside, but my picture didn't turn out.
I drove along this stream during my short dip into Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Day XIII
After I checked out, I went to Centennial Park in Nashville and saw the Parthenon. They have a replica of the Parthenon built to scale. Headed to Asheville, NC after that. I almost made it. Stopped for the night in Lake Junaluska, NC. My car had started to act up. It had actually been acting up for a long time, I just hadn't been on a freeway in awhile to notice the problem (steering wheel was vibrating a lot at high speeds). On the way there, I took a detour through Great Smoky Mountains National Park. That was a really beautiful drive that emptied out onto Gatlinburg, TN. Downtown Nashville had nothing on this place. The sidewalks and streets were just packed with people going to haunted houses and wax museums and crap like that. In my haste to get out of there, I missed out on Dollywood.

I'm kind of shocked that there's a full-scale Parthenon in Tennesee! Not that the wackiness of the South is a surprise to me, but wow.

It's made out of plaster and concrete. Does that help?
I almost deleted one of sparklegirl's comments to make anderswa the one that looks like an idiot. :) Er, not that you look like an idiot, um...
I'm so lucky to count you both as my friends. Sheesh.
