It was a very good weekend in Asheville. Very very hot on Saturday being on the streets of Asheville. I'll post pictures later today from the weekend.
On Thursday night we went to an Indian restaurant called "Mela". This is the second time I have been there and both times that food has been excellent. With your dinner you get an appetizer that is basically Indian Doritos, although they and very light and almost wafer like.
With that you get this dip that is mint, cilantro and some else in mixed in that has an almost root beer flavor. Very very good. For dinner I had lamb tandoori that comes with basmati rice, and a little cup of soup. That also has a mint and cilantro sauce for the lamb. The food here is flavorful and tasty. We sat at the bar for dinner and ended up bullshitting with the girl who was the bartender. She was pretty cool and had just moved back to Asheville after having lived in Connecticut for the last three years. So it was cool because we had plenty to talk about.
During the day Friday we went and cruised through a bunch of moutain towns and through the mountains northwest of Asheville. Stopped in the little down of Marshal, NC. A neat little town of about 900. It is right on the French Broad River. A small town that is becoming a little art village.
I'll have more as the week goes on. Some pictures of the weekend and so on.
Gotta run. Time to shave and shower.
Did I say it was hot? Brutal I mean.

sounds like a wonderful weekend. I'm so happy for you. We spent the weekend at the pool. It was mind-numbing and so relaxing. Hope the week goes fast.
Glad you had a good one and I hope you had at least one killer hangover.
