Wonders Never Cease

A little bit of relaxation and sightseeing at the same time. Sunday turned out to be a great sunny day, contrary to the rainy Saturday. Such a relief as we were going to the mountain, the caverns and the waterfall ... All in all, we visited the GRANDFATHER MOUNTAIN and the LINVILLE CAVERNS. We ran out of time to see the LINVILLE WATERFALS. Here we go:

Our University bus

The National Park bus

The windy and curvy road to the top
