Asheville and Winston-Salem, NC on Labor Day weekend: Part 2

Part 1

On Sunday, we went to the Lexington Avenue Arts and Fun Festival (LAFF) in downtown Asheville.

Refrigerator poetry on a large scale.

Views south...

 
...and north.  This is the point at which I started to get a little claustrophobic.  I'm not much for crowds (Dear husband took this photo).

I loved Downtown Books and News - good overall, it also had a wonderful science fiction/fantasy section (and was a nice break from the crowds).

The Botanical Gardens at Asheville are right next to UNC-A, making them quite popular with students. 
As I just found out a few minutes ago, it turns out that their website says that wading is discouraged.  It must be only mildly discouraged because there were no signs there saying that, and there were a number of sets of stairs to help one get down to the water.

At least I spent a good bit of time on the rocks (dear husband, obviously, took this photo).

The Hayes Cabin.  We were busy talking so I didn't take many pictures.  It was a lovely afternoon.

On the way home:  Winston-Salem in the setting sun.
