exhalations

Enjoyed touring the Biltmore Estate in Asheville despite the high entry fee ($34. per person). Once you get over the fact that it's an obscene display of personal wealth, it's a beautiful place. The print collection alone was almost worth the price of admission, especially the numerous Dürer prints. It was the first time I had ever seen a copy of the print Rhinoceros by Dürer

At a great used bookstore,The Book Rack in Boone, NC, found two Bruce Chatwin books that I've wanted to read, Utz and The Viceroy of Ouidah. Am anxious to return to this area when we have more time. We spent much of our time indoors in museums, galleries and bookstores instead of out hiking and cycling. It's a good feeling to leave a place and feel like there is a lot more to discover the next time around.
