Asheville Birthday Extravaganza, April 3 thru April 4, 2007

 

This year has been my least extravagant birthday extravaganza, but the job is done.  I don't work on my birthday (as I never do), and I stay in a lovely hotel room (Crowne Plaza), have delicious food and drink, and visit an attraction that has always been endeared by my heart: The Biltmore Estate.  The thing I was most looking forward to was taking pictures of the Biltmore mansion.  Sadly, photographs are not allowed inside.  Sorry, not a whole lot of pictures here, but here is what I have on these two pages (link to page 2 at the bottom).

 

Nighttime shots from downtown Asheville (the first is a store front):

 

A plaque honoring writer, O. Henry.  And the ATM machine sitting on the same site.

 

On the morning of my birthday:
