Ray and Mom called me this afternoon. We were looking at my pictures online and I noticed that I had forgotten Saturday's wanderings (Day 6). Sorry this is out of order!
Scott and I wandered around for quite awhile. We were looking for Ruby Falls, but couldn't find it. At the end of our wanderings, we saw that it was in Chattanooga, TN so there was no way we were going to stumble onto it.
We stopped into the local Chamber of Commerce and talked with a nice lady there who gave us a lot of pamphlets with free things to do. We decided to do the River Walk. At first, it seemed a little more rustic than I would like but then it turned out to be very nice.
The riverbed was all different layers of stone. Scott picked up a stone that we brought home. It looks like gold pyrite. We wanted to have someone take our picture, but there was no one around. You should have heard the laughing going on. It was a miracle, but we did get a picture of ourselves.
We saw a praying mantis. Scott's camera was able to get a good close-up of him. I accidentally kicked a turtle over, but forgot to get his picture. I'm sure he had enough surprises for one day when I sent him rolling. It sounded like I kicked a tupperware bowl onto the sidewalk, that was the clue that I had done something.
There were places for picnicking that we stopped and took pictures from. It took us an hour and a half, but we didn't get all the way around because of all the picture taking opportunities.
The weather was perfect and we had a restful day together.
