The City of Asheville
is the largest city in Western North Carolina.
It is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains
and is known for its natural beauty and good arts and crafts.
From our house it is an easy hop, skip, and a jump, making it an ideal location for a quick weekend getaway. Fortunately we decided to make it a four day long weekend, because there is so much to do in the area that we didn’t begin to see it all.

Downtown Asheville
lives in its own artistic microcosm.
There is art everywhere -- in galleries, churches, businesses, and in
every restaurant - not to mention on the street corners. It’s been ranked as one of the best art
communities in the US. It is impossible to see it all… but we tried.
As Bruce put it after two days of gallery-hopping, “I’ve seen so much art my
head feels like it is going to burst” Fortunately Asheville also has plenty of fine
restaurants to help fuel our bodies for our marathon Thursday/Friday art walk.

And in the evening we could relax with a glass of wine and
just enjoy the beauty of the area from
the comfort of our RV campsite.
