Get to Know Knoxville.

Our team got to know our host city for the week, Knoxville, TN, today. It was such an eclectic, vibrant and historic city. Our group had so much fun exploring the University of Tennessee, and the downtown area. Here are some photos that showcase our experience:

This is me, posing with some statues in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. As evident in the picture, I was really excited to get the chance to look around in there.

Today, we met students who attend the University of Tennessee and are actively involved with the service center on their campus. In fact, some of these guys are headed to DC next week for their very own Alternative Spring Break!

We got to ride in style on the Knoxville Trolley. We felt so classy riding around town. The best part: it was free. 

We found Alyssa Thomas' jersey hanging in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. GO TERPS!

Some of our beautiful ladies stopped to pose in front of a funky bistro located in the 'Old City' section of downtown Knoxville.

Uh-oh, we have some troublemakers...just kidding. These ladies are wonderful!

We are having so much fun in Knoxville, TN! Up next, we are going back downtown to spread awareness on the issue of domestic violence and might some educate some middle schoolers, as well. I cannot wait to see what the rest of this week holds.
