Coffee at Mosaic

Road Trip

There’s a lesson in there somewhere. On Saturday we called CityMac at Biltmore Park to make an appointment for service on Karen’s iPhone. And then proceeded to write down the appointment time in two different places, in one for 10AM and in the other for 12PM. Since the store doesn’t open until 10AM on Monday we had no opportunity to call to confirm the appointment time. So we arrived at 10AM only to discover that the appointment was indeed for noon! The nice thing is that CityMac is located in Biltmore Park Town Square, a delightfully walkable shopping area not far from downtown Asheville, NC. We took time to linger over coffee at an outdoor table at Mosaic Café before wandering through REI and finding lots of little things to improve a minimalist lifestyle. Of course we had to venture into O. P. Taylor’s, billed as the coolest toy store on the planet before returning to CityMac to reclaim a phone and replace a screen protector and a couple of charging cords. In the end we discovered much more about Biltmore Park and realized that there is so much more to discover. It’s the kind of place we’d love to find on a road trip. The snafu definitely had some blessing in it!

    I’m chuckling at the reference to “finding ‘lots’ of little things” and “minimalist lifestyle”. Glad you found things to make life on the road comfier!

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream.

London’s National Portrait Gallery’s temporary exhibition, “Six Lives: The Stories of Henry VIII’s Queens” presents an amazing collection of portraits, jewelry, personal effects, books, costumes, and more to illustrate not only the lives of the six women who married the second Tudor king, but the effort across five centuries to keep their memory alive.

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

Caligula at Strawberry Hill

The purpose of our trek to Strawberry Hill House in Twickenham in the southwest of London was to see a recently recovered bronze bust of the Emperor Caligula but we discovered so much more in the recently restored 18th Century “little Gothic castle” built by Horace Walpole.
