We contemplated back and forth on how long to stay since we are both kinda antzy to get home BUT the moment we arrived we partook in a community drum circle and well...we knew we were going to stay more than one night.

Day 1: August 15, 2007 Brevard to Brevard-a False Start I spent the morning frantically getting last minute preparations done. I decommissioned the car and parked it; finished making space for Amanda in my office; packed my bags; picked up the front room, etc. My chores were finished about five minutes before Anne and Bob came over Anne on her bike and Bob in the car.
