Mon Aug 17 - Thurs Aug 20: Banner Elk, NC


 In which we enjoy things unrelated to boats or water

 

 Just a quick interruption to our scheduled programing of ...nothing.  Rick has just finished his consulting gig but it will be awfully hot on the boat.  Given that I couldn't take ONE MORE MINUTE of the heat, we have come (at the suggestion of our friends the Hunts) to Banner Elk.  Which is, and I am not making this up, 20 degrees cooler than Atlanta.

It is delightful, and just lovely.  We have had some incredible hikes, and seen all the cutie-pea little towns (Boone, Blowing Rock, Valle Crucis, Banner and Seven Devils).  We sampled breweries, went to the grocery store 4 times in 4 days, checked out the famous/old Mast General Store and I had the best chai latte at the Banner Elk Cafe.  Two days in a row...

 I don't understand why everyone doesn't live here.  Cool, gorgeous and green, plus snow in the winter.  Do not be surprised if we sell in Atlanta and end up here...
