Charlotte

vacation
arrived safely in Charlotte on Monday, Kerrie has been delayed till Sunday. ( Stuck in new York from a snow storm )
today I got to drive up the historic Platta plantation. a cotton grower from 1820 who owned 33 slaves. history i have never looked at before. rather interesting, next to it the was Raptor Center with lots of eagles and hawks that have been injured etc.
then I had catfish for lunch . cause i have never had it before, with salt and pepper and corn on the cob
i don't like driving on big fat freeways too many cars that i am not used to, small streets are fine.
GPS units are way cool and once you figure them out work well.
Tomorrow i drive to Asheville to see the Biltmore estate.
No i haven't taken any photos yet ( sorry )
