i went, i saw, i enjoyed myself to the point of depression...

very fun, enjoyable places to hang out, eat and drink and be merry; very "make new friends and keep the old" type feeling

VERY gourmet chocolate. the kind that, when you are tasting it, you wonder if this is what chocolate in heaven tastes like (although hopefully without calories?)

and chocolate i didn't taste or buy, but thought the paper wrapping was decadent and the name also reminded of my friend over at Written Permission

to be surrounded my mountains was quite breath-taking, a refreshing change of scenery...

that Asheville, NC is ONE charming little devil. craftsmen/women that make jewelry and furniture and tye-died clothes and soap and honey to your heart's desire. restaurants and shops and the feeling of life and energy bursting at the city's seams. wow! this downtown is incredible and everyone should go and visit this place. EVERYONE.

what a treat.
