Ok let's see where do I begin.  After an early morning email with Joanne Milt came over to the motel at about 8.   Said he and Joanne were booked all morning but he'd be back at 1:00.  Showed us around Asheville and told us about a possible activity in the evening called Contra Dancing.  Had some places to go so we just hung with him for a awhile and then dropped us back at the motel with us going over to their house for dinner at 6.  Reed wanted to go back to one of the stores he showed us here-an old record store so he and I did that.  At 6 we went over to eat and meet Jillian their 15 year old daughter.  After dinner it was off to contra dancing, which can best be described as a combination of square dancing and line dancing with some swing thrown in.  The first activity was to teach anybody how to contra dance.  We all took that lesson, including Reed who said he had never danced and would never dance.  When the real dancing started, who's on the floor?  Reed and having a great time with Jillian.  Reed spent, in fact, most of the night on the floor with various partners and declared contra dancing "awesome".YouTube had some great clips of contra dancing at this dance hall The Grey Eagle.



The dance quit about !0:30 and we headed back to the motel with Milt full of ideas about tomorrow. We'll see what develops.
