We had the hotel buffet which was a nice breakfast for $30. Met
a couple there who were starting a Road Scholar program at this
hotel. Good to hear that Road Scholar chooses this place to
stay. When went to the lobby to try the internet i saw Anne and
Paul just getting t there. They left Raleigh before us and were
just getting in. Long night for them. We used the hotel
shuttle at $5 each and went to downtown where we got a walking
map and MP3 player. We took a fun walk in the rain listening
about historic buio;dong. While downtown we had lunch at Big
Bobs BBQ which was outstanding. It was featured on diners,
dives and drive ins on the food channel. We had our orientation
at 3, the wine and cheese reception at 6:30 and then walked to
the Chena Salmon Grill where we waited for a table. Libbie and
i split a planked salmon which was over the top excellent. This
was the best salmon i ever had. Dinner was done at 9:30 and it
was surprising that it is still light out.
