One perfect truth… I love to travel. It doesn’t have to be far away, it just has to be somewhere different than where I am. I was lucky enough to spend the weekend in my new favorite town of Asheville, NC.:::sidenote:::
Many of the places I visit quickly become my new favorite place. Since I have the ability to love many places at once, it does not detract from any of my previously named favorites.
I have family that lives in Ashville, North Carolina, and for the last several years, I have been promising them that I would visit. Since there was a random March snowstorm last Monday, I decided to take a road trip to the mountains in hopes of finding snow. Asheville has a small ski slope nearby, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity for last minute snowboarding and visiting.
I knew that Asheville was a unique place, but I never imagined how much I would love it. It is a city full of local artisans and musicians, amazing food, and fantastic people. The culture strives to be eco-friendly and celebrates many different interests and walks of life. While I shopped downtown, I was able to search through specialty yarn shops, organic food stores and handmade jewelry. Artists were selling their original artwork and musicians set up on street corners to entertain. Even the restaurants were spectacular! I ordered things like spinach and mushroom raviolis and veggie quesadillas… both of which were the best I have ever eaten. All of this was compounded by the fact that we were surrounded by the Great Smokey Mountains on every side. It was the perfect place to decompress.
My next great adventure will take me home to California. 37 days and counting…
