Uncle Bob, the Strawberry Jam - both sweet !!

You know I have started writing about my US Trip from yesterday. I would like to make it in an order like first I am going to write about the hosts I have stayed with, then the rest of whatever interesting about my trip!!

I have stayed in Robert (Bob) McElroy's house in Chattanooga, TN, USA. He is such a gem of a person who take care of me very much for my entire stay with him. Though he is living alone, he really loves to cook. The strawberry jam cooked by him was the unforgettable dish I have ever tasted. 

Eventhough he is in his 80s, he is very brisk in doing things. 

On the first day evening he took me to his son John's restaurant (Cicy's Pizza!) We had a nice dinner there!! (you can see that in the photo above). 

I didnt carry any sweater or jerkin with me as I learnt from the internet that the climate will be around 21 - 23 degree celsius through my entire trip. I felt that I can withstand such cool climate there. But the reality was worser than what I have predicted... ! 

Uncle Bob only came into my rescue :) ..! He gave me a jerkin to use until my stay with him... But he offered to extend the use of the same until my entire trip in the US...! 

I have got an another chance to meet him when we returned Chattanooga at the end of our trip...! 

Even through the US culture admit people to call other by name, I couldnt do the same with Uncle Bob...! Not only for the reasons I have mentioned above but for many reasons I liked him (and still I like him) very much. 

So I have decided to call him UNCLE BOB . . . !
