Kingsport-Knoxville-Nashville

On the road again and what does one see? Car places with festive streamers, sparkling cars, many big gas hogs for sure and in the smaller places along the road junk yards pretending to be repair shops.

Even in Kingsport where the city center was restored, it is not a walkable city, no place to sit down and watch the world go by. Cars are king, without a car nothing goes in this country, whereas at home, sometimes I don't use my car for a week or more, taking trams or walking.

At the end of the road one needs a drink. One. But which one. The liquor store straight across from the motel. Of course being in Tennessee it became the smallest Gentleman Jack...

In Knoxville stumbling upon  one of the hundred best Asian restaurants and proud of it.
It sure was a good meal and a customer taking a picture of the boss and her helpers... Go there Hashi in Knoxville. Excellent light tempura and hibashi veggies.
