Wow!
Kirsten! What an incredible story...it is so odd and wonderful what happens when you travel. Thank you so much for sharing your trip details--too bad you don't have more time to explore these wonderful spots! How about a trip back to Toledo? It looks like a fabulous spot...we should plan to meet there :) Glad to hear that you are doing well and it is so good to hear from you. Miss you a great deal and I can't wait to hear more from your work trip! Monica

Oh So Close!!!
Sounds like you two had a great time at the game. I'd say that I wish I could have been there, but that would be a lie. With an ending like that game had, I would have ended up in the nut house!!! Welcome to US college football.

Oh my lord!
Not much more I can add to the 'oh my lord', but to say how brave I think you are to jump into a sea of orange humanity - but then you are a high diver, aren't you?

Wow, that is quite a lot of orange!!! I would be very excited in a orange cap cheering up the Vols b/c that's my favorite color! Well, I'm glad to see that you are enjoying life in Knoxville. See you again on MSN!

Hi from Costa Rica
We, hubby, 10yr old daughter and dog moved to Costa Rica in Jan 06 not speaking a word of spanish. It has been learning experiece. I believe it is my responsiblity to learn their language because I choose to live in their country. I felt the same living in Arizona, if you live in 'my' country you should speak my language. I will never again tease someone trying to learn a new language. There is no way to know the inner turmoil someone is going thru just to communicate. I appeciate all the kind ticos for politely correcting me and not letting me get away with improper use of words. Check out my blog sometime if miss Costa Rica... sheridan's of sesame st, Just Jen

Well, well, well, Look who I found!
I was looking through the travelblog cite wondering, "Who the hell finds something exciting to see in Tennessee?" Then I saw some cute little girl standing next to a Red VWB and by golly it was you! Haha, I had already come across the post about staying in TN for a while and also wondered, "Hmmm, how does an international traveler come to rest in the little podank country of TN?" but i didn't look into it any further. Well, we are sure glad you are here!

Second Best, Eh?
Seems like every struggling Yankee gets sucked into the black hole that is Knoxville. It seems to be the only city in America that lower to middle income people can afford. I'm still living in my 350 dollar apartment, the rent is so awesome! But my neighbors suck, the traffic sucks, the culture (or extreme lack of it) sucks, the air quality was rated the worst in the nation by EPA ratings last year, Knoxville is still the most polluted city in the USA, yeah, the property tax is low, and almost any loser can afford a home, but is it really worth it? It's no better than finding a diamond in a toiletbowl! I would rather move back to Chicago where it's 30 below zero and my rent was over 1,000 bucks a month. At least I had opportunities and diversity of culture, and room for advancement, and the pay scale was 3 times as high. Here in Knoxville, it's like the Hotel California, once you enter, you are financially stuck and can never leave. Knoxville also has the highest bankruptcy rate in the country right now. What does that tell you? Don't do it, man. Don't just "settle". That's not the answer. You need to perservere and get the heck outta there! It's an evil conspirator's trap. Don't do it. Your wonderful new home is built on shifting silt and limestone anyways, and there's probably no french drainage, so you'll be paying out the wazzoo for mold problems and termites. Don't be fooled by the myth that is Knoxville.
