Well for the last two weeks I made a road trip with my friend. We drove 16 hours from norfolk, va, to covington, louisiana. talk about tiring! we drove through seven states and agreed that NC took the LONGEST to drive through only because we are technically three hours from VA but SC actually took longer. We went through seven states: VA, NC, SC, AL, GA, and MS . It was great because being prior military i have visited several countries being stationed overseas for two years and not several states. being a northener by birth, it was different being in the south. ALOT of green stuff. I think they are called trees, and in South VA we even saw cotton fields and old houses with slave quarters behind them still in good condition. We also saw a lot of those um.....flags. The south is very friendly. While we were there, my friend got free food and everyone speaks to you (which can get you cursed out in the north, lol!) and yes, it was HOT down in LA. so while you guys were freezing i was wearing my capri's and ballet shoes. I didn't visit New Orleans, though I was only an hour away, but I did get to eat ALOT of southern food like po'boys, gumbo, HOMEADE pork rinds (called cracklin's in the LA) and fried liver (which i didnt like). I must admit, i had a great time and loved being around the folks. They think us northerners are rude and always in a rush and say that we are used to the cold. I told them i love the hot weather down here. When it was time to leave, I was happy, but I would like to go down there again. Maybe take a plane because the driving was LONG!
