Day Trip

Yesterday we took a drive on the Blueridge Parkway headed for Devil's Courthouse, from which you can see four states, but the road was closed at one point, so we had to turn around. Instead we went to Looking Glass Falls and Sliding Rock in/near the Pisgah National Forest. In the summer people slide down the rock in the rushing river water.

Last night I went downtown with Amy and Cheri. We were driving past the civic center and Amy saw that they had ice skating. So we dragged Cheri in and "forced" her to have fun (she loved it). I didn't fall, but Amy did save my life once, and I almost crushed a little girl.

Today we had lunch at a sushi place downtown, then walked around a bit so Nick could see Asheville. There are a lot of homeless people downtown, and a lot of people playing music on corners. We walked by a junkie couple sitting on a bench, and the man was crying about something. Then when we walked by again, he was yelling at the woman and called her a "Christmas whore." Merry Christmas, everyone!
