Day 2: A side trip to Greece

Although we only drove about 325 miles to day from Abingdon, Virginia to Nashville, Tennessee, we apparently ended up in Greece. I made the best of it by visiting the Parthenon; alas, we couldn't see Athena as she is in recluse on Mondays.
We've been within shouting distance of mountains throughout our journey...The Appalchians, Blue Ridge, and just to the north of the Smokeys. The Great Smoky Mountains are so called because of the natural fog blanketing the mountains.

Lunch today? Salami and Robiola cheese at a rest stop near Carthage...home of the Gore family. It was Al Gore, Sr who authored the bill to create the interstate highway system in 1956...that Eisenhower signed into law.
