Just go higher on mountains, and anyone knows it's cooler up there. So we did. The three adults and one grandchild tootled along to Little Switzerland. We had all the time in the world.

A post from 2014 about my first visit to the Little Switzerland Bookstore. HERE.
But the restaurant is "always closed Tues and Wed." we learned. Why hadn't any one of us checked?
We wandered around the used book store...and I did succumb to some lovely cards that are just precious!
As we made different lunch decisions, I noticed a vining/tree that grew next to the bookstore entrance. Nothing gets past me!
More photos of our lunch, and of the Blue Ridge Parkway trip home soon!

ReplyDeleteDoing just fine here. Only into the 80s in afternoons. We've got more to come I'm sure!
DeleteLittle Switzerland? I'm headed to Big Switzerland soon.
ReplyDeleteGood. I'm sure there's much more to see there! Enjoy!
DeleteI have Little Switzerland on my bucket list. Love the photos, great group photo.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day and happy weekend.
I've met some people in Black Mountain who stay up in Little Switzerland and use it as a home away from home every summer. Little Switzerland itself doesn't have much to do or see...but it is between lots of nice places to visit, shop, hike, etc.
DeleteLooks like a fine place. Too bad about the restaurant.
ReplyDeleteIt's a small and popular one, and we didn't want to go to the upscale country club restaurant. We are retired after all. Though that may mean different things to most people, to us it means living in a frugal manner and still having fun!
DeleteI love Little Switzerland. Such an interesting place to visit.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun, and always nice to get away to cooler locations!
ReplyDeleteIt was a most enjoyable day trip.
DeleteNice! We were planning a trip there for this weekend actually, but no rooms were available. Just as well, as it turned out. But it would have been a nice getaway.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a relaxing weekend at your own home. Whenever you get that close to me, let me know and we can meet up somewhere...coffee/tea/lunch/chat!
