Leaving the shore and headed inland, we made good time, stopping for lunch to enjoy a much anticipated 5 Guys burger (because who knows if we'll be able to get artery-clogging food as delicious as this once we leave the east coast!?)
We got in town just in time to meet up with Matt & Neely and catch some live music at the newly opened Craggie Brewery (http://www.craggiebrewingco.com/) in downtown Asheville. Sipping on their summer seasonal Antebellum beer (flavored with ginger and molasses) and listening to David Allan Coe covers, it felt pretty good to be back below the mason-dixon line! We grabbed a pitcher and delicious pizza at Asheville Brewing Company (there are 10 breweries in Asheville!) then snuck in a little porch-sitting time before the end of the day.
Awakening to the beautiful view from the farmhouse porch (built in the 1880s), I said good morning to Neely's chickens (thanks for breakfast ladies) and "wild" turkeys. It would be easy to spend a week here exploring the town and the mountains, but the road beckons...
