Tahlequah

We went for a day drive through this Cherokee capital, formed in 1838 for the displaced Indians (resulting from the Trail of Tears).  We weren't in the mood for museum-hopping though - just looky-looing.
 We came across this gorgeous campus -  Northeastern State University.  Mostly, it reminded us of Hogwarts - not a bad thing!





 Don't ask.  I'm just attracted by bright colors, I guess!

And remember that Cherokee bloke, Sequoyah?  Well, he virtually singlehandedly came up with the written Cherokee language (the syllabary)!  Here is an example of it.
