We woke up in the new timezone and moved Slow. We can use a rest day soon.
We were out of the hotel around noon and started the drive to Asheville. Stopped for breakfast at a WaffleHouse. It was a cloudy day, and we probably checked in to the hotel around 3pm.
From there we headed over to the Botanical Garden for a walk, and then we located the Museums in the center of town (which were closed as it was Monday). We did stop in at the local massage school and signed up for sessions with students in the morning. We also shared ice cream from the Marble Slab, and let’s just say that sometimes Harlan has more difficulty with dairy than others. We did a bit more walking and shopping around the downtown area.
We went back to the hotel for a bit, Harlan discovered a Bowen practitioner in the area and left a call (Bowen Technique has a really good rotator-cuff procedure and that would be Useful for Harlan) then headed out again to visit the Malaprop(?) bookstore that Gary suggested. Very unusual bookstore that we enjoyed very much. We bought a book and a magnet. From there we came back to the hotel, and on the way to the Texas Roadhouse (Brenda really likes their chili and the cinnamon honey butter with their rolls) Harlan got a return phone call and a Bowen session was set up for Tuesday around 3pm.
Dinner was tasty, and the waitress had interesting things to talk about with us (she came over from Bosnia when she was 12, and she just graduated from college).
The pictures are still waiting to be uploaded, and as we need to be up relatively early tomorrow and we still haven’t adjusted to Eastern Time that will have to wait a bit longer.
