Day Two Continued: Chapel Hill in Photographs

I always forget how much I adore the sweet town of Chapel Hill, NC. Every few years when I make it down to the Durham area we usually spend an afternoon in the cozy college town and it is always a delight. Yesterday was no different. We had some delicious freshly brewed coffee and mint tea at Caffe Driade, explored the Ackland Art Museum, and had an incredible dinner at a charming little Indian restaurant called Vimala's Curryblossom Cafe. 

French Pressed Peppermint Tea

Chilly Sunset.

We didn't eat here, but the menu looked delicious. But after Curryblossom, I know we made the right choice!

My mother in anticipation of our meal! In retrospect, we may have gotten too many water glasses for three people . . .

Road Trip Day Two: Late Fall Flowers

The beautiful flowers above are still remaining from the summer. The light was just perfect for these delicate (albeit hanging on for dear life) blooms.

Enjoyed the cool weather in NC today with a 5 mile trail run, lots of delicious fresh coffee and tea, Indian food, gallery exploring, and a nice long history lesson from Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones (Lincoln was quite good - made me realize how little I retained of American history pre-Reconstruction).

Tomorrow we head to Atlanta for more exploring en route to the bayou. Sunset photos and those promised coffee photos will ensue.

Road Trip Day 1

Did I mention this whole road trip I'm taking over Thanksgiving? No? Well here it goes . . .

We (my mother and I) have arrived at stop number one. Our dear family friend's home in Durham, NC. We made it from NJ to NC in under 9 hours! Whew, I'm pretty sleepy. Tomorrow is a day of adventuring and then on to the ATL Sunday, before heading to New Orleans. I'm so excited to see that beautiful town - neither of us have ever been!

I promise to keep updating as we go. I have no good photos from good ol' Interstate 95, but I plan on finding something pretty to take pictures of tomorrow. Perhaps a cup of coffee . . .
