Road Trip Part 4: Asheville, NC

We're currently in Asheville, NC, a city in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Its home to UNC Asheville, and has a great little downtown. Last night we had dinner at a restaurant called, "Laughing Seed Cafe". Its a vegetarian restaurant (with tons of Vegan selections), and it was wonderful. I think the highlight of the meal was the Pineapple/Tofu sushi appetizer. Downtown Asheville is full of little shops, no chains here, and tons of art galleries. We've also found a nice general store, and a great independent bookshop called Malaprop's where we're sitting right now. I've ordered the Deepak Chopra, a white and dark mocha drink that is awesome. All their specialty drinks here are named after various authors. We've also found out that Asheville is ranked as the "Best vegetarian friendly small city in America". I could definitely enjoy spending more time around here hiking some mountain trails and enjoying downtown Asheville.
