We spent Saturday night in Greenville, SC and the hotel was just across the street from a mall very much like our St. Johns Town Center. We had dinner at a sports bar called Indigo Joes and then went across the street to the Barnes and Noble to hang out for a while. We then took about a 30 minute walk just to get moving again after being in the car for so long. This morning we took our time getting moving as it was raining pretty steady and looked like it would be all day. So we decided a nature hike was probably not a good idea. We got on the road around 10:30 am and had a really nice drive thru the mountains. The weather did actually clear up enough so we had some really nice views of the Smokey Mountains.
We got into Arrowmont around 2:30 and got all checked in. We hadn't eaten lunch so we walked down the hill into Gatlinburg. Man, are there alot of people down there!!! We did the tourist-y window shopping thing for a while and grabbed a bite to eat, then came back to the peace and quiet of the Arrowmont campus.
We are staying in one of the dormortories, and it is very much like my dorm in college - two double beds and a shared bathroom. But it is comfortable enough and it is part of the Arrowmont experience to stay right on campus.
The evening started off with dinner in the dining hall at 5:30, followed by Orientation at 6:30pm. At 7:30pm we all went to our class rooms to begin our classes. I wasnt expecting to do much the first night but we made a print from start to finish in 2.5 hours. Emory's woodturning class was spent with getting all their equipment set up. We were pretty tired after a full day so went down around 11pm to get ready for a busy day tomorrow!
