Delaware to Texas in a week. Day 1:
We drove through Maryland, D.C., and Virginia before
arriving to Charlotte, North Carolina.
Well, put me on an American roadtrip, give me good company, and you’ve
got me at my finest. Add the Olympics happening at the same time? Come
on. You have my jingoist aspirations will full eagle’s wings spread and ready
to take on the world.
We left this morning in what always is a tearful goodbye for
my Mommom. We live with her when we are in the states since my mom is working
in Germany.
First Stop:
Our first rest stop was hilarious. We reunited with a girl
Jay and I met on a cruise TEN YEARS AGO. I was 14 at the time, I think she was
16, and jay was 17. I have no idea how this happened.. we kept up like only
every other year, then last night she facebooked me and asked if I still lived
in DE, that she was driving through. We were too. So we met up!
I am on my typical
documentation bonanza – so you will have plenty to enjoy. It will be like you
are right with us. Minus all of the dead time.
I Love Black People
There sure are a lot of black people here. In fact, I was
about to title this whole post “I love black people,” which really is true,
but I decided I would just settle for a sub-heading.
We are already experiencing the southern way of life; these people
are all outside boozing and BBQing. Playing. Sitting. Walking. They do
everything outside here.
If I love being around black people so much, just wait until I get to Birmingham, AL tomorrow. Yiiiipeeeee
Run Down Motel
As fate would have it, despite checking into the worlds
shittiest motel, we turned on the TV only to see… lo and behold.. DUMB AND
DUMBER. Don’t even let me begin..
“We’re really doing it, Harry!”
Our hotel room was so shitty that Jay and I decided we would
in fact be cleaner if we did not to
take a shower there.
Evening:
Roadside stop at the grave of Stonewall Jackson.
We went to an awesome Gastro-Pub in Charlotte called The
Liberty. We had some awesome craft brews, the city’s “best burger” and called
it a night.
I never knew I could feel so happy standing outside of a McDonald's! Our 10 year roadside reunion was...well, let's just say I still get really happy thinking about it! I absolutely loved seeing you and Jay, and I cannot wait for the next reunion (please much earlier than 10 years, though!)!
