We have been to Atlanta to spend time with family which was nice. We saw the Metropolitan Opera at the Regal, "Macbeth" which was quite impressive though be warned that the tickets are more expensive than regular movie tickets. The singers were very impressive.
We went to Chimney rock near Ashville to hike for a day before I start the new job and are looking forward to going back later in November. Hopefully to do Chimney Rock and Ashville in the same time. It was exhausting but I managed to do it. Julia, of course, is in considerably better shape.
Charlston is a neat city. We used AirBnB to stay with a neat lady by the name of Elayna. She is an artist and has three artistic children as well. If we use the site on more time successfully somewhere else, I highly recommend it. We went on a 'ghost' tour of the local dungeon as well as a generic historic tour of the city. Like Savannah, this one has only been scratched on the surface and I think we need to do at least one, maybe two more trips before we've even begun to do stuff there. There were far more elements of the confederacy on display than I'd like...this is where it begun after all, it did give me ideas for a series of short stories in the Forever West universe that I might write next year. Especially if I sell any copies there. We saw several galleries and really enjoyed the market there. We bought a small beach print. We also ate at a fantastic restaurant Julia picked called the Fish House which had a view of the aircraft carrier and a frigate at sunset. Julia also spotted some porpoises while we were at the beach and the waterfront.
