Santa Fe
So we planned a few nights in Santa Fe as I may have mentioned. Monitored weather until the day we were supposed to leave and had to call an audible the night before due to shitty winter weather. The weather map said the South was to be sunny and 60 for our days of travel. Narrowed down to Charleston and Asheville. Asheville wins. Changed flights and lodging and away we went.
Stayed in a loft downtown. Walked the town, ate a ton, hiked, perused some art galleries, etc.
Bulleted Thoughts
-Asheville dining has a lot of focus on local, organic, and fresh; right up our alley so we didn't go hungry.
-I eat my fair share of BBQ, we generally seek it out when traveling for work. Had a lot from MO, TX, AR, and OK. I found the best. 12 Bones in Asheville wins hands down. Not just for one thing, but everything. Ribs, pork, beef, turkey, potato salad, corn pudding, baked beans, green beans. All superior. I can give specific details if you want, but won't bore you here. I ended up eating two dinners and half of Jess' lunch, and yes I finished the cookie and the beer as well.
-Appalacians / Pisgah National Forest is as beautiful as I remember. We were behind the foliage peak, but still lots of bright red to be seen. Blue Ridge Parkway would be a great bike ride. Waterfalls, rhododendron, blue hills, fog, etc. Could spend a ton of time exploring here.
-Neither of us know anything about art, except what we like. The River Arts District is a developing haven for artists rising out of an abandoned industrial area. Very cool and interesting for us even though we know nothing. (I asked before I photographed)
