Figures, I got these sort of in reverse order. At any case, had a great trip to Louisville, Kentucky and Southern Indiana (two previous posts) but wanted to share a few road photos. There are two ways to get to Louisville from North Carolina; one though Virginia and West Virginia and the other via Tennessee. On the way BACK we stopped in Berea, Kentucky. Made a stop in the town where I got the photo at left of the Daniel Boone Tavern. Berea is a college town, and a very interesting place to check out. My quilting wife Patty made a few purchases at the quilt shop there, and we also enjoyed a nice lunch. Eating along the way, checking out the sights; makes the trip fun.
In North Carolina, we had a fantastic dinner at the Moose Cafe in Asheville, NC. Great food, huge portions, and really nice prices. It is restaurant with a farmers market next door, so when I say good food, I mean...GOOD FOOD! From the parking lot I got this view of the Inn At Biltmore and a view of some of the mountains. We have been to the Biltmore (though not the Inn) and greatly enjoy visits to Asheville. Not only a very interesting city, but it also is at the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is one of the most amazing roads in America (and one of the top motorcycle roads in the US by the way). Asheville is a great place to visit, and well worth the trip.
One of our favorite stops in West Virginia is Tamarack. There is also a place like this at Berea; basically they are arts centers; you can see a lot of art and I have a few photos of both places in my Photo Page. West Virginia is really a pretty drive and we have made a lot of stops in the cities there along the way in this and previous trips. Sure a trip is about "getting there" (and getting home) but while you are on the road nothing is better than to check out a few of the sights along the way. You never know what you might come across, who you might meet, and the wonders that you might see. Along the road you can see some remarkable places!
