Asheville Trip
















This weekend Daliz and I went to Asheville, North Carolina. As we were walking around downtown after eating a vegetarian meal at the Laughing Seed Cafe, we chanced upon a Mardi Gras/Valentine's Day parade. If you happen to be in Asheville, I highly recommend the chocolate creations at the French Broad Chocolate Lounge, started by an Oberlin alum and his wife (get the liquid truffle!). In Asheville, I found a statue celebrating Appalachian music and dance, which I pondered for its anthropological significance. Also, there is a hamlet called Bat Cave we drove through on our way to Lake Lure/Chimney Rock, nearby towns famous for haunting mist, moonshine, and Christian revivalism. Hence the images here...
