Friday in Athens

Got into town yesterday and relaxed after a great dinner. Somehow I just plain missed lunch so dinner was extra-fabulous.

Sleep was extra good too after the early start. This morning I decided up go exploring and see if I could find the “nearby” Birkenstock store. It was about 45 miles in Vienna west Virginia and so worth the trip.

Beautiful rolling hills along the way. You could see the high water marks along the rivers and streams.

Took one wrong turn but still found the shoe store. It was full of enthusiastic birkies folks. They did not have exactly the one I wanted but offered to ship it to me no problem. As in they offered!

They also had these which I just could not resist:
