Asheville, NC

Spent a couple of fine days in Asheville, NC which is a most pleasant place in the Smoky Mountains adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway. Klaus and I stopped here but with the benefit of a bit more time the charm of Asheville becomes seductive. Fabulous food at Curate, Taste and Admiral and excellent coffee at the Dripolator topped off with art galleries and a good independent book store make it all pretty hard to beat!
