Wednesday was "Upstate Culture Day." We spent the day in Greenville enjoying some special places. The first was a visit to Bob Jones University's Museum & Gallery. They have a prolific collection of religious art from the 14th - 18th centuries, including old masters like Botticelli and Rubens. Our favorite thing about the museum was how the art was displayed in rooms furnished with decorative arts from the same period. It was a beautiful setting and amazing that this collection is in Greenville.
After the gallery we headed to downtown Greenville. We stopped into Dark Corner Distillery for a moonshine tasting. It is an adorable little distillery and we felt that moonshine definitely fit into "Upstate Culture Day." They had lots of interesting flavors like Apple-achian Shine, Hot Mama (cinnamon and chipolte pepper flavors), and The Green Villain (Absinthe). My favorite was Apple-achian Shine which tasted just like apple pie.
We ate dinner at The Lazy Goat, a Mediterranean inspired tapas restaurant. The food was wonderful and it was a unique experience having a lazy tapas meal instead of the traditional three course dinner.
