Winston-Salem

Friday, May 6

Our next destination is Winston-Salem, NC, the trip gave us our first (only?) FIVE STATE day.  We left PA and crossed MD, WV and VA before entering North Carolina.  Arrived in time to join George’s UCI colleague and friend Richard McKenzie at the Village Tavern in Reynolda Village for an evening cocktail and light dinner.  (“Reynolda” comes from the Reynolds tobacco family, *very* big here.)  We joined Richard the next morning on his daily walk through the lovely woods on the Wake Forest campus.

Then the two of us visited Old Salem letting Richard get some work done on his video lecture modules.  This town was settled by Moravians and became a center of commerce and crafts.  It was a great day and we enjoyed visiting the old buildings and beautiful gardens in the town.
