I managed to hurt my back at the gym this weekend - maybe from the rowing machine? After a PT session yesterday, I decided I'd be okay enough to go for a flat walk. We went to the Biltmore estate with our annual pass and started to explore some of the trails there. I'm looking forward to when the gardens are in bloom. We had a pleasant walk - 7 miles, which is a lot longer than I've walked in quite a while. Still sore - back, feet, etc. Followed up our walk with take out from Andaaz.

The landscape architect for the estate is Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed Central Park and Rockwood Hall, where we would sometimes go for an easy hike in NY.



I love gargoyles!
