Tennessee

We woke up in Columbia, South Carolina this morning which seemed to be an awesome arty town with sculptures everywhere, including this giant chain between two buildings.

There was also a gigantic fire hydrant in the middle of a parking lot.

There was an amazing mural on the wall behind it.

We past by another abandoned religious theme park called Heritage USA and couldn't resist stopping to take a look.

It was once the third most popular theme park in the US. There used to be a castle but now only a gigantic derelict hotel remains.

We stopped for lunch at the Green Sage Cafe where I had a delicious tempeh salad.

That evening we were staying onboard the Delta Queen Hotel n in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The Delta Queen is a retired famous paddle steamer which is now being used as a floating hotel on the Tennessee River.

Our stateroom felt so cozy with windows overlooking the river and bridges.
