OK, Who Puked on my Plate?

Well if this was vomit, it was actually very nice to eat. It was my very first Mexican food even if it looked ghastly. Given guidance by my female companions as to what I might actually like, this chicken based dish (pollo, if I recall correct) went down a treat. My very white British palate coped admirably. Thanks to Chapala Mexican off Weaver Boulevard for a satisfying intro to different cuisine of a very different country for me.

Nice Bikes

These were the bikers I was following on this first solitary drive (as such). We'd paused at Monticello Road / Weaver Boulevard intersection in Weaverville so grabbing a shot here sealed the memory of the moment. I have a story to tell about the gas station to the rear of the picture showing how things are different in the US than the UK with fuelling. I'll get around to it at some point!

Weaverville High Street at Dusk

This is how I remember Weaverville best of all. The front porch of Blue Mountain Pizza. I loved sitting on front porches of different places and homes in the evening. Not a culture we've got a Britain. Though I guess the climate's to blame!

Quietening of the evening. Light still hanging on in the blue-silver night. A peaceful moment and a vibe to cherish.

Live Music at Blue Mountain Pizza

This was where we joined the live music at Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville itself. Wonderful vibe. Good evening. Warm spring air on the front porch. Delicious HUGE pizza, and some appropriate music to accompany a beer. Very nice one indeed. Probably my best memory itself of Weaverville.

Morning Light in Weaverville

This is the view which greeted me in Weaverville on 16th April just after 8am. Beautiful backlit trees and the morning dew freshness. The mountains in the spring. Almost heaven.
