It's Wednesday and that means it's time the lovely Jess over at Classy in Philadelphia's , Where In The World Wednesday!
If you participate, please take the button the fabulous Feris made to use in your post!
The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you in someplace in the world...it doesn't have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just a picture of you somewhere that you consider traveling.
this week i decided to go with asheville, north carolina. if i could move one place in the states, asheville would totally be in the top 3 places i would move to in seconds. i spent the summer of 2007 in asheville when i was teaching at an academic summer camp there. i had a blast in the city going to the amazing restaurants, pubs and just soaking up one of the most interesting cities. it is an interesting mix of backpacker/mountain with art/culture and just wonderful. so i recommend going, there is so much to do and nearby is tennessee and lots of hiking! and the great smoky national park too! so while i did some of that i'm just gonna focus on asheville!
welcome to asheville!
vance monument and the im pei building in the downtown
thomas wolfe's house - he wrote a few "fictional" novels about asheville based on life there
and my FAVORITE the biltmore, the largest private residence in the US. absolutely incredible
i was weird that summer and didn't take too many pictures.. boooo! but i loved living here and teaching about the culture of western north carolina and getting to visit so many cool places in the area!
so participate with where in the world wednesday and go over to Jess's blog - Classy in Philadelphia and share your link :)

Looks like a lot of fun. I love your outfit at the Biltmore :) Very cute.
