Gilded Asheville: Day 4

 Dr. Fenn managed to form a pancake North Carolina, complete with the Outer Banks and a grape capital city, along with an egg version of Virginia with grape Richmond at breakfast on Thursday morning.

Here, Tristan continued her research at the UNC-A Ramsey Library Special Collections on Thursday morning.

Jozef made copies of important documents to take back to NCSSM so that he can better prepare his final presentation.

The students leave UNC-A's Ramsey Library for the final time.

 
 We stopped at Mast General Store on Biltmore Ave. in downtown Asheville so that students could pick up souvenirs before the close of our trip.  Tristan browsed the candy offerings.

 Our final tour was of the Basilica of St. Lawrence in downtown Asheville, a building designed by Rafael Guastavino, one of the Biltmore House's artisans.

 The building is famed for its elliptical dome and its tile work.

 One of the stained glass windows of the basilica.

 And an exterior view.

The students frolicked with some statues in front of the Asheville Civic Center on our way back to the van.

Our last stop was the Sisters McMullen Cupcake Corner for a snack for the road.

 Here, Jozef gives a thumbs up for his Black Forest Cupcake as we started the journey back to NCSSM.
