Full Asheville

Saturday, June 28

I started with the Breakfast of Champions... Two Peaches and Coffee.

Then it was Breakfast Time. Doug came over before opening the Gallery. I had two Bowls of Fruit, and Maud, Austin and Doug had some versions of a more Traditional Breakfast with Eggs and Toast and things.

So I had Pre-Breakfast and Breakfast. Maud had Big Plans for me for Lunch. It turns out that there's a Farmers' Market-like place near where they live that has some guys that reportedly have Wonderful Pork. She doesn't eat Meat, but I do, so we went to Buy Some Pork.

So we got back to the house and I ate my pound of Pulled Pork.

Carolina BBQ isn't the same as what I am accustomed to. As far as I was concerned, this was Delicious Pork (or Wonderful Pork, take your pick), but it wasn't what I would call Barbeque. But it was great, and if I lived here, I would be used to it (and happy with it) in two weeks. it was really, good. The guys said that they cooked it for ten hours.

In the afternoon, Austin and I toured Asheville a little. We saw these people playing Marimbas in the downtown park. Here's their website. Marimbas are like xylophones, except they're made of wood and are not annoying. And, they are from New Mexico... maybe Denise knows them.

We got back home in time for pre-Dinner.

More Peaches and Watermelon.

We had 6:00 pm reservations for Dinner at The Blackbird, in Downtown Asheville. They knew AJ, one of the waiters there, and he brought us a Cheese Plate. I usually don't eat Cheese (or Crackers), but I had one (large) Cracker with two different types of Cheese.

For our Main Courses, I had Tuna with Asparagus and Spinach, Austin had a Lobster Tail with (also) Asparagus and Spinach, and Maud had a Vegetarian Plate.

My Tuna and Vegetables were good. Both Austin & Maud had, er, issues with their Meals. We had a lot of fun... I had a lot of fun the whole time I was with them.

And the Fun wasn't over. We booked seats on the LaZoom Haunted Comedy Bus Tour of Asheville for after Dinner. I'm a tourist; we got to do tourist things.

It was hosted by a silly guy in a Wolf-like getup.

It was silly; we had fun.

Later, back at the house, we cut up some Watermelon and Cantaloupe and watched people do stupid things on YouTube.

Here's my steps for the day.
