Look out USA we are here
On the 24th March we departed for Charlotte,North Carolina with an uneventfull flight on US Airways. The Marriott Hotel was located in downtown Charlotte which is the 25th largest city in the USA. We spent two days walking the streets which are littered with sculptures of every type. It's also a very quiet city. The Dead Sea Scrolls were on display at the Discovery Centre which also houses the Musuem. In the dome shaped IMAX theatre was showing a film 'The mysteries of the Nile' an excellent film following a group's travel from Ethiopia to the mouth of the Nile at Alexandria, all very exciting with great footage of flying though the gorges.
The next day we left for Asheville which is in the foothills of The Great Smoky Mountains which is part of the Appalachian Mountains. Last nights dinner at a Japanese Restaurant (so called) was the worst meal in years. The meals we had in Charlotte were of a different class.
