Ozzy and I have now been in the south for a few days. We have been sleeping in the van in Sam and Nadine's driveway in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. It's been really nice to catch up with the two of them. As they are busy during the days I have been just exploring the Chapel Hill/Durham area.
Our first stop here was a dog park for Ozzy where we have returned on several occasions.
I had a southern breakfast yesterday at Elmo's Diner in Carboro, NC. Biscuit and sausage gravy, eggs, home fries and turkey sausage. Once of that is enough but as Sheriff Andy Taylor would say, it was m-M M-M g-o-o-OD. It will be all salad, all the time for a while...
Sam and Nadine and I played at a place in Chapel Hill called the Cave. A funky little place which had a "songwriter's song circle." Close enough. We had a lot of fun.
Today I went into Durham and drove through the campus of Duke which is really beautiful. Then I went to the Nasher Museum where there is a Miro exhibit which was really good. There were a bunch of 6-9 year old boys and girls there and as I have said before, any day spent with second graders is a good day.
Now at Pep Boys getting a transmission flush...just maintennace. Pleased that it will cost about forty dollars less than quoted in Pennsylvania. Yesterday I worked a bit on organizing and upgrading some systems inside the van...Ozzy's food and water station and the curtain system I use at night when I go to bed.
So, all is well. I think I will be here for another couple of days and then head to Asheville. It has been chilly there but looks to warm up a bit for the weekend. Got out of New England just in time as I check the weather frequently and it has been bitter/frigid cold with no real end in sight.
Asheville in my sights....
