Awake: 9:15am Temp 61 sleep 6+59 partly sunny overnight @ Lenore City, TN.
I walk over to the campground office & sign up for (2) more nights @ the Soaring Eagle.
Then look over our tax return; we both sign on the dotted line, write out (3) checks & plan on mailing these out this afternoon.
Early afternoon, we drive the Suzuki to downtown Knoxville, find our way thru the old town section, across the Tennessee River & back over the bridge again to walk the river walk. Along this (1.5) mile walk, there are historical plaques to read & recordings to listen to telling of the pioneering days when Knoxville first began settlement & how the river played a big role in its development. This was such an interesting stroll that I completely forgot about mailing our tax return & letters. We made one futile attempt, then gave up because all post offices would be closed. En route to the campground, we did some light grocery shopping @ Wal-Mart arriving back to Soaring Eagle @ 6:45pm.
Dinner: Kosher all beef franks with broccoli, baked beans & whole grain bread.
Mid evening Skype with Nick & family; about (35) min…we muted the audio, used our cell phone & watched the video action.
DVR movie: “The Day They Robbed the Bank of England” with Aldo Ray, Elizabeth Sellars, Peter O’Toole, Hugh Griffith, Kieron Moore, etc. IRA members plan to rob the Bank of England in this meticulous caper film. 1960. It wasn’t easy; these guys worked hard for their treasure….with a surprise ending. Check it out!
Lights out: 1:06am
