We got up the next morning, somewhat somber. We knew this would be our last time outside of North Carolina, but the road trip had been a great one, and we knew the pictures we had gathered would be helpful during our EXTREMELY boring classes.
Back on the road, we stopped in Nashville, TN. After being impressed at Memphis and its surprises, we were hoping for the same in Nashville. But there wasn't really much surprising there. It was just... Country! And lots of it! Fortunately, we did realize that the Duke vs. Hampton game was on, and was able to stop in a bar to watch Duke whoop some butt.
Then we continued our trek back through the plains, and then mountains of Tennessee. We knew we were close to home when our phones switched from Central to Eastern time zone. We hit Asheville around 10:00 that night, and since it was our last night, we decided to splurge a bit and stay at a Courtyard hotel. (hey for us, that is splurging!)
After walking to a nearby Waffle House, we called it a night.
The next morning we checked out of the hotel, and headed to Downtown Asheville, where there were more hippies than parking spaces. Each store was "organic" this, and "Tofurkey" that. Made you wonder if these people had anything tasty to eat! But after chilling at a cafe for awhile, we took the four hour trek back to Durham.
Our road trip, folks, was over...
