Sightseeing and Stuff in Town

We spent Saturday wandering about Chattanooga. It's a lovely little town and we had terrific weather. We've only been here for five days, but Mike had connected us with so many movers-and-shakers in town that we ran into three of them on our walk through the downtown area. Adera Causey caught up with us on the Walnut Street bridge. She pointed us in the direction of great ice cream (Clumpeys!). Where we were talking with Adera, Chiquita Bass pulled up, with her two daughters, and greeted us. Walking back over the bridge, we ran into one of the people we'd shared dinner with on Wednesday night. He and a friend were playing (guitar & harmonica) and singing. They were pretty good. It's a small world, and we seem to be pretty well-connected Chattanoogians, even after just five days.

This morning (Sunday) I'm worshiping at First-Centenary UMC's contemporary service, The Vine. After that, I'll grab some lunch and check out the Chattanooga Valley Railroad Museum. Tonight we are relocating our living quarters from Tennessee Temple University to Camp Lookout, on nearby Lookout Mountain. This coming week, we'll be relaxing at Camp Lookout and coming back to the Saint Andrew's Center daily to continue our work.
