Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday. I hope you have a wonderfull day..


Whether the day is good or bad,
Whether I feel happy or sad,
If I have a need, you’ll comprehend;
You’ll be there to share and be a friend.
Other people may fill my day,
But never in such an important way;
We support each other ‘round all life’s bends,
It feels so good that we are friends.

A big Birthday hug from me to you.

2 May Going home

Our adventure is over for this time. Its time to say goodbye...
Looking forward to my next trip. See you...

2 May Chimney Rock Park

The top of the Blue Ridge Mountains. At a soaring elevation of 2,280 feet with 7 mile views.

Hickory Nut Falls, one of the highest waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. On our way back my friend almost step on a snake... God I really hate those snakes...

1 May

Biltmore Estate in Ashville. The Estate is huge we do a lot of walking as well as driving around the 8000-acre backyard.

Biltmore Estate George and Edith Vanderbilt's home with 250-room. Can you imagine who would like to live like this. As always is very tacky and so american both the interior and the architecture of the house.We are not allowed to take any photos inside the house so I can't show you what it looks like.

A stroll by the azaleas. At Biltmore we do some more winetasting and this time the wine is ok, not bad at all, not bad...

30 April

Today we visit Salem NC. Salem was founded in 1766 by the Moravians a Protestant faith that began in what is now known as the Czech Republic. The Moravians were missionaries who established an earlier settlement in Bethlehem. The architecture and landscape of Salem are still quite accurate, as many of the Historic Town buildings are original structures.



At Winkler Bakery my friend and I get a cookie big enough to share, but we get one each from this bakery.The dome bake oven at Winkler is typical of bake ovens used in Salem. The Bakery's oven is still heated with wood as it was nearly 200 years ago. Pretty damn good chocolate chip cookie.

After Salem we make a stop at Westbend Vineyard for some winetasting. But the Wine is to sweet for me not really my taste. After that we're up for Mexican dinner and tonight I'm going to have a dessert. At least thats my plan...


Don't think so...
