Tennessee is a fairly rural state that has a bunch or beautiful hills and nice country roads. A lot of my family grew up in Tennessee so I though I would visit it for the few days that I get off from university. I have been spending the last couple of days at my Grandma's house in Columbia, TN. It is about an hour away from Nashville and is a very quiet country town.
The other day I went to my uncle's house to have some steaks. He lives in a very very small town called Santa Fe, TN. He has a huge yard and also a very nice house. The lot where his house is on is about 17 acres (~70 sq meters) and seems like a very quiet and relaxing place.
We grilled up some steaks and had a nice dinner with sweet corn from Amish Country and green beans.The next day I went to the Jack Daniel's whiskey distillery. Jack Daniel's is popular all over the world and every drop of it is made in a small town called Lynchburg, TN. It was really interesting to see the distilling processes. Unfortunately I wasn't able to take pictures of the distilling process, but I could take pictures outside.
I will post some more pictures once I get back to Lubbock. I have been hanging out with the Japanese exchange students lately and have really been enjoying myself. I sent off all of the application material for a few different Japan programs, so I am keeping my fingers crossed for a reply. :-)
