Wow, the Appalachians sure are hilly! And not only the Blue Ridge Parkway which I abandoned after about a 100 miles. It was certainly beautiful but even mile after mile of the most scenic roads you can imaging will eventually bore you. So I decided to head down to the valleys instead which I don’t regret for one second; swishing by on the downhills in the sunset while listening to live banjo picking from porches along the road will probably stick in my memory forever!
Yesterday was Memorial Day which I honored by visiting the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, a small town between Roanoke and Lynchburg here in Virginia that suffered more casualties per capita than any other American town during World War 2. The memorial was beautiful and Memorial Day made it even more special.
I just arrived to Charlottesville, VA and soon I’m about to visit Monticello; Thomas Jefferson’s estate and the 10th World Heritage Site of my journey. It feels like I’m getting closer to my final destination!
