\"View<\/a>Friday afternoon I took Gabriela to the bus station so she could go visit friends for the weekend, then I took off driving up to Asheville to meet Karen. We’re having a great time roaming around Asheville. We’ve had some great food (Tapas, breakfast buffet at the Grove Park Inn<\/a> (see photo to right), Indian buffet — if there’s one thing both Karen and Lee know how to do it’s eat). To top off the day today we went to a great spa, the Shoji Retreat<\/a>, south of town and had an hour hot tub followed by an hour massage. Mmmm, I’m relaxed now…<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, I missed seeing Karen’s brother Lee by about 5 hours. He was up in Asheville for a local “burning man” type event, and hung out with Karen some in the morning. I think it’s probably been 15-20 years since I’ve seen Lee. I always enjoyed his company, and from the way Karen describes him, he hasn’t changed much. Oh well, time and tide waits for no one.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s getting late, so I’ll sign off. Tomorrow we’re looking for a place to take a short hike in the morning, then it’s back out of the mountains for both of us. My plan on the way home is to stop in a town I saw from the highway, Newton. I want to get photos of the entrance to the town, then a speed limit sign and other signs of laws. Then I’ll be able to create a poster of “Newton’s Three Laws.” (It’s a physics thing…)
