Day #2.5-Americana Continued

We're headed to Biltmore tomorrow. The plan is to wake up early and get on the road. We can't get into our room until late afternoon, but we can drop off our bags and head out onto the Biltmore grounds as soon as we arrive. There is so much to see that we're just hoping to get there as early as possible. We had dinner tonight with a nice girl (manager of the place we ate at,) that sat with us throughout our meal and told us about the points of interest to hit at B'more. So, we're outta here in the a.m. If you ever have the chance to visit Old Salem, I HIGLY recommend it!

This is a part of the Moravian cemetery called Cedarhyrst, I think. It's right at the entrance. There is a sign asking for reverence and respect.
These are the bakers. They were loading the wood into the fire for the next day's baking. They gave us free bread samples. They were niiiiice old fellows.

This red breasted fellow sat on the branch outside of the second story window of the tavern where we had lunch. I'm still dreaming about that chicken pie and trying to figure out how I can get some of it home. They do offer it in a frozen form to be taken home, but I don't think it will last until Sunday. Anyway, this guy sat outside our window for our entire lunch....

The Moravians were very focused on music. Tannenberg, the organ maker, created this (and other) organ for them. It was refurbished, and this old lady, apparently, comes each day to sit and play it. The sounds coming from this organ are nothing short of Heavenly. You can just see her grey hair sticking up above the music sheets. The sounds coming from that organ made us cry. Really.
