Day 6

Today was another day that started out with traveling. We left the hotel in Kingsport at 10:30 this morning and arrived in Winston-Salem, North Carolina just before 3:00 P.M. after stopping for lunch along the way in Virginia. We were able to see a tour of Old Salem, the historic district of the city, where the Moravians settled (from Pennsylvania!) in the 18th and 18th century. Among the exhibits that we saw were a museum on pottery and glassware and a bakery and tea shop, as well as an inn where George Washington once stayed on his tour of the newly formed 13 states of America. We departed for the hotel at 4:30 and left for our dinner at 6:00. Our dinner tonight was at a local seafood place that served a variety of dishes from the sea. Among the options were crab, shrimp, chicken, and oysters. The dinner lasted two hours, and we were able to perform both Hard Times and the Alma Mater for the staff and anyone else in the restaurant. After stuffing ourselves silly we had time to ourselves at the hotel, and many of the guys went to Kilwins candy store a few blocks from our hotel. Tomorrow, we will be heading to Greensboro, North Carolina to perform our final concert and see the last sights on our spring tour!
