...Continued From Yesterday: Tom and I started Tuesday morning with a breakfast rendez-vous with some of our friends at the restaurant of the Four Points Hotel, which I had re-named the Three Points Hotel (see post from 8/9/2016 for the reasons), where some of our group were staying while in Asheville for the University of Dayton Appalachia Club reunion. In view of our overall experience at this hotel, I suppose it should not have come as a surprise that the breakfast buffet, which at 99% of hotels is included in the price of the room, cost $12 here. Thus we further demoted the name of the place to the Two Points Hotel. After our morning-long re-visit to the ghost sites of the Montford area of Asheville (see yesterday's post), Tom spotted what turned out to be a great lunch venue, The desserts looked absolutely ethereal, The food from a local caterer was great: Before Tom and I were married as a gift to Tom I had an artist paint a picture, which still hangs in our family room, from the above photo. But anyway, the best part of the evening was getting together with old friends and meeting other groups of fellow volunteers who'd worked in withe the UD Appalachia program in the early 1970's. Sharing our memories of those times, ...thankful for the gift of being there then, ...and being here now.
