Well, another near-tear jerker. Good thing I only stayed a single night. Banjo, a five-year-old rescue, became like a best friend overnight, sleeping at my feet, and then cuddling up closer to me in the morning. His master scolded him last night for getting into things he shouldn’t have while home along, and since I was the neutral “good guy,” he bonded with me pretty quickly.
Even after less than 24 hours with super-cool hosts Steve & Phil, in Carrboro, NC, saying “goodbye” to Banjo was difficult– especially as he gave me this pleading stare as I snapped this pic. I won’t be proceeding forward from the greater metro area too soon though, so I plan to pay them all a visit once again.

Headed back up to Carrboro’s Weaver Street Market Co-op today…

The day was beautiful enough to eat lunch outside… with a jacket

Though I paid for last night’s delicious dinner, today the Weaver Street Market Co-op gave me a huge, all-in-one, today-and-tomorrow lunch gift. Healthy food for a health-driven walk! DELICIOUS!!!!

Fat Tuesday in NC’s Triangle. I’m sure my hosts would quickly agree that it doesn’t quite stack up to a Louisiana Mardi Gras experience (where I was last year); but, it was fun nonetheless . I’m thankful to my hosts for inviting me!!
