Winston-Salem

We left Asheville with our wallets a fair bit lighter and headed off on the next part of our adventure. At this point we knew where we were headed, but we also knew we had a fair amount of time to reach our destination. We decided to venture away from the highway and take the low road.
We took a peek at our ridiculously oversized map of the U.S and looked for somewhere 'nice' between Asheville and Chapel Hill. Sunshine looked like the place to go!
We popped it into the GPS and we were on our way!
Sunshine, here we come....10 miles to go.....3 miles to go...200 yards to go...SUNSHINE!?!?! Where did you go?!?!?!?!
Sunshine turned out to be a stupidly small village with about 3 houses and 67 churches (such is the way on the 'bible belt').
So much for that.

We got back on the map and located somewhere a little bigger, with a far less exciting name. Shelby.
Shelby was findable, had a bank, and we even purchased some fish and chips! (it would have come with 'potato chips' (crisps) if we hadn't requested 'WE WANT OUR FISH WITH REAL CHIPS, NOT THOSE STUPID CRISP THINGS'. She got the idea! Tea was ordered, and our lovely perplexed waitress brought out a real teapot stuffed with ONE teabag (At least she had the right idea!).

We headed into an Art Co-operative before we left, had a quick look around, made too many purchases and got back on the road!

We arrived in Winston-Salem in the early evening, and after some bad navigating and staring at a lot of letterboxes, we finally found our couchsurf for the night, Courtney!
We spent the night in her lovely, chaotic house. Her family were awesome and we had great chats with all of them!
We got into bed pretty late after all the talking and spent the night on the squeakiest bed in the world!
