Yesterday was the return to New York. We filled our last morning with my Dad with a trip to the Natural Science Center, which afforded unexpected opportunities to see lemurs, tigers, and a very fashionable giant anteater. Jane will have to post those pictures since she was more patient about staking out the best shots. Waiting for our flight at RDU, I was overcome by the end-of-vacation melancholy and nostalgia for the vacation. I do love my home state and it was fun driving all over it. I especially loved being there with Jane and finding out there there things that we want to come back again to do. (Nantahala, Penland, More time in Asheville, and the Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro are all on the list.) The return home is always bumpy.
Here is a shot of the jellies and sauces that we acquired. Left to right, we have fig jam made by Katy, cinnamon flavored syrup, black bear jelly, bread and butter pickles from a farm stand outside Blowing Rock, lemon tahini from a market in Boylan Heights, Raleigh, frog jam and blackberry jelly from the farm stand.
