The first three days of our trip have been amazing. We spent last night in Richmond with my friend Jes from college. She's got an amazing little place, filled with amazing things from her travels around the world that all tell a little story about who she is. When we arrived, she had made us an incredible Indian meal; then we walked down to a little local pub and had a drink in the gorgeous Virgina evening temps. Churchill, the neighborhood where she lives, has a community garden that we walked through, cute restaurants, and the most quaint row houses. We spent the rest of the evening talking about life, good times we had living in Asheville, and what's to come. Both Joe and I were so humbled by her amazing hospitality!
This morning we got up and made our way west to the mountains of Virgina. We spent the afternoon on one of the cutest, hipest towns I've been to, Staunton! The local scene is amazing here. There is even a store that sells all fair trade, ethically made, good-for-others products. I connected with the store owner, Anna, about philanshopic.org and plan to stay in touch with her. After some time enjoying the small city, we took Barley to a great dog park called Gypsy Hill. He loved it! Then we decided to go set up camp. I can't even begin to describe our campsite, so I'll have to add photos. I am looking forward to a great night ahead and have some smores waiting for me. Off for now!
