WOW & home

Wow, just home from a trip to Asheville to see my brother get married.  What a lovely place! It is very very swanky. While there for the reception, they had requested a vegetarian meal for me but the head waiter noticed that I didn't eat the cheese on my appetizer and switched out my meal for a vegan meal instead. Kudos to noticing the small things, his attention to detail was just marvelous. The chef made me a nice grilled portobello mushroom with fingerling potatoes. I was really impressed and thought they overall did a very good job with everything from start to finish. The attention to detail was very nice. I'd recommend going there with a loved one for a nice tour of the grounds. I didn't ask about their fining agents and none of the meals in the bistro are vegan so maybe eat in town at one of the hippy joints : )

What I would not recommend is a three day whirlwind trip with the parents including a shared hotel stay and a total of 12 hours on the road. Streaming CNBC/Fox News in the hotel room and I'm lucky there were no sharp implements with which to slit my wrists. No murder/suicide and a day later I am almost back to sanity.
