On our first day off after our first full day of work in years, we had shopping to do. We went down the mountain 14 miles to Brevard NC which is the county seat of Transylvania County (Trans for across and sylva for woods in Latin). They have everything there we need and if they don’t have it, we don’t need it.
About halfway down the mountain, there is Looking Glass Falls, one of 15 in the immediate area. The photo shows George in front of Looking Glass Falls, “the most photographed falls in the county,” according to the “falls” brochure. The brochure also says there are 250 waterfalls in Transylvania County. For more, check out www.visitwaterfalls.com
We needed supplies for the motor home. Hurricane Hanna and Hurricane Ike are expected to make landfall on Saturday and we can at least anticipate fringe rain. We were told to fill up our water tank because the electricity goes out in storms. No electricity means no water. If that happens, we’ll use our gasoline-powered generator for lights and appliances.
The other photo on this posting is of Poppies in Brevard where we had lunch and did our grocery shopping. It is very “up market,” as the Brits put it, and it reminded us of “Whole Foods” which is in some major U.S. markets. Lois and I split a cobb salad unlike one we have ever had, with scallops and shrimp in it.
