Asheville, North Carolina

Asheville, North Carolina is one of those little places your really glad exists.  It’s a combination of the Nimbin (Australia) art scene meets the laid-backness of Byron Bay but in the middle of the mountains.

Everywhere you look, there is art. 

From outside…  … to inside the shops.   It’s pretty much a town with an emphasis on freedom of creativity.  

Yeah, that double decker bus is a cafe.  … and that’s an iron.

… bicycles are common modes of transportation. 

Bicycles also act as bars here, too.

The photo that i did fail to get was a nun on a bicycle.  Actually, it was a guy in drag dressed as a nun on a bicycle.  But aside from all the freaky stuff, it really is a stunning town. 
It’s a town where people still dress up to go out for dinner.  It’s really great to see that sort of respect for the area.  

And Asheville is still a place that you can wear a rainbow wig during dinner and no one would bat an eye. There is also a very large craft beer scene to check out too.  

There’s so much to do in and around Asheville, it’s really worth the visit.
