Well I can now check off the Biltmore on my bucket list. What an impressive home. there are only 250 rooms and 125,000 acres. Jonny really didn't want to go but he had no choice. We did a lot of walking today and it felt good to get out an walk. After the tour we walked to the gardens then to the bass pond with was about 3 miles round trip. It is humid but I didn't mind at all. We had our pictures taken by the staff when he got into the house and I had taken so much time to do my hair, then when I looked at the picture I wonder if I should have taken more time. That's what humidity does!!! I took the shuttle back to the truck and Jonny decided he could go faster by walking. I was at the truck a good 15 minutes for him. When he finally got there he said he had been talking to "Gary" the guy that directs the cars into the grounds. They must of formed some kind of friendship as Jonny told me things all day as to what "Gary" said. One thing that Gary said, was people from Northern California are so friendly, but the ones from So. Cal are snobs. I guess his concept of No Cal people are friendly is true especially after talking to Jonny. Gary is an Obama fan and Jonny did not even challenge him on that one.
After the tour we stopped off at a cute little bar/grill and had lunch. Jonny said it was the best hamburger he has had in a long time. Had a great southern waitress which we talked to for a long time. Also had a drink called cherrywine. Its like a cherry 7-up. On our way out of town had to stop off at the local grocery store and get a 12 back.
Drove for 2.5 hours to Columbia SC, where we went to the temple there. Very friendly people. When we walked out of the temple it was like going into a sauna bath, very humid. There goes the hair again. I think if I could find a cute hat I would buy one then I wouldn't have to worry about my hair. Hey I shouldn't worry as no knows me and I will never see them again.
Jonny told me not to talk to loud when we are in a public area, as we will be labled as a tourist. Now we just say "you-all" all the time so we can fit in. We head to Charleston tomorrow and should stay there for 2-3 days. will be nice not to
drive all day and just look at the local area.
