Hello from Boone, NC.
It's day 08 and we have spent the last couple of days visiting with friends from Orlando that have moved up to NC.
On the 22nd we arrived into Asheville, NC to visit Natalie and Joaquin and the newest edition to their family: 4 month old Prudence. She's a super cute pound puppy destined for great things and a happy life! I would be lying if I said that I didn't want to steal her and bring her on the trip!
Asheville had a great vibe to it. Natalie and Joaquin can see downtown from their porch which is perched on a hill. Their home is filled with curious puzzles and awesome art. It would have been nice to stay longer, but on this particular leg of the trip, we had a couple of deadlines to meet so we hurried on to Boone yesterday [with a bit of a hang over at that]. We met Joel at the local health food store and immediately drove up a small mountain to go on a super nice hike. The hike took all of 15 minutes of awesome rock [or boulder, rather] hopping with a huge pay off of an awesome waterfall at the top. A perfect hike, indeed.
Afterward, we went to Appalachain Voices to see the wonderful Miss Sandra D doing her thing. Its funny that so many people from Orlando have made up to ole N. Carolina. It still seems really southern here, but there are all all of these little pockets of progressiveness and activism. It's pretty great and the weather could not be any better. It's slightly brisk all of the time, but you can still go swimming if you get hot from a hike. No stickiness to speak of that is a given in Florida.
I know I promised pictures.... Internet has been hit or miss. They'll come soon. :]
