Asheville, we love you! For nearly two years, we have been cloistered at home, cautious and fearful. We are vax'ed and boosted and unafraid! We are on a road trip, and feeling like we are 22. We left home with barely a plan, only some celery and turkey sandwiches, and a 10+ hour roadtrip through the breath-taking Great Smoky Mountains. We drove through the Cumberland Gap and had a poignant talk about Daniel Boone and the Conestoga wagons. We saw very few remnants of the past, but did notice one huge Confederate flag, which took our mood from 10 to 1 real fast.
Tomorrow? Biltmore Estates!
