From Ebbing to Oconaluftee

Family

Errands yesterday and today took us into Dillsboro and Sylva where all the buzz around town is about the filming next month of a couple of minutes of the dark comedy Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Sassyfras Furniture Store is being converted into the Ebbing Police Department with a Welcome to Ebbing sign on the side. Our friends at Freeman Gas will be assisting in the special effects when the police department is blown up.

Leaving Ebbing behind we traveled to the Oconaluftee Visitors Center in Great Smoky Mountain National Park to replace Karen’s parks pass and to rejoin Friends of the Smokies. The trip home included a repast of gyros at Kosta’s, the Greek restaurant in Dillsboro. Yum! And a copy more stops to get materials for projects around Tween Creeks.

The Ruins of Pompeii

It was an incredible experience to actually walk the streets of Pompeii, once a bustling resort town in the Roman Empire until 79 AD when an apocalyptic explosion buried it under 20 feet of volcanic ash. Archeological excavations since the 19th Century continue to reveal evidence of a thriving community.

Half a Day in Rome

Half a Day in Rome

Our recent travel misadventures seriously curtailed our time in Rome pre-cruise but we did get to visit the Vatican Museums and Sistine Chapel before making the trip to Civitavecchi for an overnight in the port city of Rome preparatory to departing on Allure of the Seas tomorrow.
