Last semester, I was spoiled with an amazing schedule. I had it flip flopped - 2 days of class, and 5 days off from school. It was difficult to differentiate between the weekend, and a weekday (not complaining). This semester, with an overload of class time and school work - I'm lucky when the real thing rolls around.
My wanderlust heart is yearning for another adventure, but a tight budget kept us close to Boone. Luckily, every mountain town has character. We escaped to West Jefferson on Saturday and spent the day exploring. We stumbled upon an art exhibit, and met the talented Lenore DePree - the artist behind these unique paintings, portraying the Blue Ridge Mountains. [She is from Saudi Arabia. And The Netherlands. And Hong Kong, I believe? She is now living in her 10th log cabin in Ashe County. I was fascinated by her stories, and quite envious of her travels. Apparently she has a wanderlust heart as well...]
The main street of W. Jefferson was lined with more antique malls than any other kind of store. We bought homemade chocolate covered marshmallows and walked around until our feet hurt, thankful for the sunny weather during the day, and a beautiful sunset that evening.
