Aaron has asked me to apologize for not blogging in a timely manner. I, however, feel that this wait has only built suspense. So here is our long awaited update :). We had a blast hanging out at our friend Matt's house in Durham. When we arrived on Friday, we went for a leisurely swim after a hike through Duke's woods, watched some World Cup and Family Guy, then met Hannah and Anna (other Wheaton friends) at Hog Heaven for some authentic Southern BBQ. It was all we had hoped.
Hog Heaven: A heavenly experienceAfter dinner, we visited Hannah's stomping ground of UNC Chapel Hill. We browsed an old bookstore and bought some poetry books to continue our literary development as we traverse across the country. Then Hannah presented us with early birthday presents: matching tie-dyed T shirts. We are now ready to be hippie Californians!
Our friends!The next day, we hung out with Matt and chilled all day. Then on Sunday, we drove a few hours to Asheville, where we ate at a local bar and walked around the city, stopping to listen to a bluegrass band and watch the accompanying hula hoop dancers. Then we drove on to Nashville to see my friend Renee!
