Asheville

this was the view from our hotel room window ....wow

We just got back from a wonderful few days in beautiful Asheville, NC.  It is definitely one of my favorite towns.  surrounded by mountains and never any lack of people watching...a welcome place for anyone who is a free spirit..It is where I chose to celebrate my BIG birthday......

we stayed on Tunnel Road....

 our view as we drove into town...

and there she is......Asheville....come on and let's visit the streets....

I took so many pictures because everywhere I looked, there was beauty.  I hope you can get the feel of the town through them ..I will only comment on a few...it is truly a magical place to visit...

our friend John Cleaveland has several paintings at Blue Spiral and it was exciting to get to see them here..

 there are street musicians everywhere....and they are good....

 this building was fabulous..a couple stopped to talk while I was taking pictures because they wanted to know what we were looking at..LOL   Bryan talked, I photographed.....

Asheville...ahhhhh...you are special to me....
I hope you enjoyed the tour....

I have more pictures to share of the Botanical Gardens and the Blue Ridge Parkway..but that will be in a few days..

I am sharing today at Inspire Me Tuesday   because Asheville is certainly a place of inspiration...and creativity....
