New shoes! I exchanged my shoes at REI and even got some money back because they were on sale. I also bought a new stove that won't be as sensitive to the cold as my alcohol stove. That, a warmer liner for my sleeping bag, and a few Xmas Clif bars and I'm ready to face the cold again.
After resupplying, we all headed into downtown Asheville to check out the brewery scene. Asheville has 15 breweries in the city, so it's kind of a big deal. We settled on Lexington Avenue Brewery where Blueberry Crisp, Lancelot and I each ordered a sample flight of their beers, and I had delicious tacos and a rib sandwich. I definitely liked this town.
Since I'd now done 3 nights at 12 Tribes communities, I thought I should pop in to their Gathering: twice a day (before breakfast and dinner) they meet up for song, dance, discussion and prayer. There were a few things that I noticed : first, the discussion was very much focused on confirming everyone's beliefs rather than dusagreeing, and second, only the men discussed. The latter point made me wonder where the women fit into the communities.
