Georgia - North Carolina Mountains (Day 3 of 5)


 
Helen and I walked around the Blairsville town square while Adam slept in
 
Checking out
 
 
Nani's Cuban Restaurant in Blairsville
 
They were just opening for the day and we enjoyed talking with the owners while they prepared our food
  
  
Adam couldn't wait to try the Cuban sandwich
 
Heading about an hour north to Wesser, NC and the Nantahala River
 
 
 
 
   
Eating our Cuban food while we watch the whitewater rafters
   
 
 
 
Everything was delicious, including this "piggy bowl"
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
Registering for our raft trip at the Nantahala Outdoor Center
 
 
 
 
 
 
All wet after our raft trip. We really enjoyed it. We had a fun guide and the river and scenery are beautiful.
 
 
 
We wanted to eat at the Big Wesser BBQ, but a storm the night before knocked out power to the surrounding area for most of the day
 
 
Watching the kayakers run the Olympic training course
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Didn't eat at the River's End, but a beautiful spot overlooking the river
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
Power was eventually restored and we were finally able to get some bbq
 
 
 
 
Appalachian Trail passes across the street from the Nantahala Outdoor Center
 
 
 
Adam having some cookies on the way to our motel
 
We stayed about 20 minutes east in Bryson City at the Two Rivers Lodge
