Blue Ridge Mountain
Through blogging I've been all around the world and met so many people from all over. One of which is Rebecca from Chow & Chatter. Shes a dietitian, blogger extraordinaire. A while ago i did a Guest Post on her blog, and I thought I would be nice to have her over at T
hatsSoRon. So an e-mail was sent and here she is... showing us her back yard!
"It was a joy to me when Ron asked me to guest post for him. I always have fond memories of his guest post for chow and chatter about chilly brissy with snaps of his city and statues with scarfs on them.
I smile as we plan to visit Australia this month unfortunately we won't make it to Brisbane. For the guest post I decided to share some snap shots of North Carolina the State where we live in America. I have lived in the US now for 7 years and now live in Winston Salem NC. I am British and my husband is Indian we moved here for his medical residency. I am a dietitian but stay home with our toddler now and blog and offer social media coaching mostly for dietitians.
I highly recommend living in a different country if you have the chance it's fascinating to experience a new culture and explore.North Carolina as a state I would say is quite up and coming with growing cities such and Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham, Greensboro and Winston Salem also Asheville in the mountains. The Raleigh Durham area has great universities and wonderful research. North Carolina has the beautiful blue ridge mountains in the west (see pictures ) and a pretty coastline in the east.
The area where we live reminds me a little of home it has great seasons and green rolling hills. Winston Salem was actually settled around 390 years ago by the Moravians from eastern Europe who bought a tract of land from the British they have a rich culture and food traditions.
With German inspired food and in particular Moravian cookies famous at Christmas time. No visit to Winston Salem the twin city would be complete without a visit to old Salem a beautiful and historic section of town with old buildings and a living Museum about the Moravian people. Next to old Salem is Winston downtown with office buildings art galleries a new ball park and restaurants. The restaurant scene here is so so but we have traveled extensively and have spoilt palates if visiting the state I would say Durham is the up and coming foodie city.

The people in the South are warm and friendly and I highly recommend a visit to this pretty state, be sure to sample fried chicken, biscuits, collard greens, cornbread and Southern food. But also the fusion of other cultures as folks from around the world make their home here."
Thanks Rebecca for sneak peak of Winston Salem.

Yay to NC!! Thanks for sharing more about Winston-Salem. Durham IS THE FOOD CENTER! =) I'm biased, as you know....right in between the beaches and the mountains.
