Asheville And The Biltmore, 2, By Guest Blogger Penelope

A continuation of our visit to the Biltmore and a chocolate factory in Asheville.

The tea menu at a high tea, where you can smell the teas

After much deliberation, I picked Masala Chai, my mom
picked an apple tea, (which was later discovered to have no
tea in it whatsoever, a running joke, as my mother usually
doesn't like any tea) and Grandma picked a tropical blend

The savory, sweet, and salad options at tea

The sun setting from the grounds of Biltmore

Biltmore when the sun goes down is a beautiful place

The white roses and lights lining the entryway

My favorite room, the Great Hall, from various points of view

The library, which is my mom's favorite room

A tree drowning in decor in one of the many guest rooms
of Biltmore

The house's bowling alley

The walk-in fridge of the era

A furnace to heat the washroom in the winter

This is in the French Broad chocolate factory we toured
in Asheville, where we got to taste many things, such as
cocoa nibs from beans we cracked ourselves

Me holding a real cocoa pod; in case you were wondering,
it sounds like a large baby rattle when shaken!
