A Taste of Asheville, North Carolina in Pictures

Sushi on the last night.  This sealed the deal.  

A city of ART and artists!  Even art under the bridges.  

First night in Asheville.  Enjoying one of Asheville's many local beers at the Sky Bar.  What a unique place with a fantastic view!

Of course I had my Nuun bottle.  I take hydration seriously (and spreading the loyal Nuun love).

This town definitely feels Nest-Like.  Perhaps we will nest here soon.  And this sign speaks for much of the city.  

A small part of a piece of art that I fell in love with.  Artist:  Kelly Rae Roberts

Loving Wall Street

Mellow Mushroom Pizza.  I think the beer might have had something to do with the fact that tofu and broccoli on a pizza was acceptable.  However, the anchovies would have been acceptable any day of the year! Amazing Pizza!

We ate here twice.  So healthy.  And really yummy!

This picture doesn't do the Blue Ridge Parkway justice.

Meeting up with Lindsay from www.chasingthekenyans.comat the Lexington Art Festival in Asheville, NC. After this experience, I can officially say that Asheville matches or beats Portland, Oregon in their boasts of being "WEIRD". Not quit

e sure what was going on behind us (or in general)...pretty sure it was some interpretive acting/ rolling around on the ground/ weirdness....perhaps acting out a scene of oppression? Hmmm. Lindsay and I had some ideas of what the message might have been. Pretty sure we should have thrown a dollar in their buggy since we got a pic of them....But by that time, we were blocked by some people on stilts wearing wigs and pink skirts. Good day to have blue tape on my legs....my flare of "weird".

Too warm during the day to wear my boots with my sundress so I rocked the blue KT TAPE to support my feet/help my Plantar Faciitis while exploring Asheville, NC. I was pretty sure I'd get a few looks or be mostly alone in my blue feet acce

ssory...hey, at least it matched my blue sports bra. But what do you know? On my way into a grocery store comes another runner who was sportin' her purple KT taped up achilles. #KTTapeKindredSpirits.  I found her just minutes after typing a message to a friend about feeling funny with blue tape on my legs.  But I said that even then I somehow felt like I fit well in Asheville.  

A hike in Dupont State Forest

I saw this sign everywhere.
