Wednesday we went to Magnolia's for lunch. Tino loves New Orleans food, and this place never disappoints. (Tino had gumbo, and M.E. had a shrimp po-boy.) The same lawyers and Ashevillians were there! It was fun for M.E. because the Buncombe County Women's Attorneys luncheon was coincidentally being held.... I got to see Smitty, Leah, Eileen and Kate. Maria joined us for dessert with her friend Joe.After lunch we went to see the new Pisgah Legal Services' office. QUITE a change from the Gudger House on Montford where M.E. worked for eight years.
We toured downtown a bit, looking at art at the Kress Emporium and having coffee at Green Sage. (Asheville folks -- it used to be Bean Streets.) We met friends Jim, Sharon, David and Virginia for dinner at Tupelo Honey... What a great meal and such challenging conversations!
It was really great to see you guys!
We had fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. Sharon had an omelet, Jim had tuna, David had the flank steak, Virginia and I had the nutty chicken, and Tino had shrimp and grits.
Then off, on the road to the Outer Banks. Tonight, we're in a hotel (showers! bed!) in the Outer Banks. We're a bit sleepy, so, we'll post more tomorrow.
Tupelo Honey sounds very familiar. I think that was one of the places I wanted to eat at when we were in Asheville but never got around to.
