Well we learned a lot about travelling, about the country, about people, and about food. I think one of the most depressing sights was that of migrant farm workers. School buses full of them with port o sans on the back of them on flatbed trucks. Their liing conditions were not that great. There were large groups of singlewides PACKED with campers too not more than 6 feet apart where these people lived. The kind of camper that you put on the back of a truck.
There is so much open space. This country is huge.
We had quite the adventure in eating. The BEST was the Stinking Rose as we are garlic aficionados.
I still feel like I am driving so hopefully this can be turned around relatively soon. Then we have to get ready for our trip in the fall.
So glad you enjoyed your trip. Are you taking the Southern route when you go back in the fall?
ReplyDeleteI think you might be back here during peak season for our trees (we are always a month later than everyone up north), but not sure. Since you like museums, when you visit, we might do the NC Art Museum which is about three miles from my house. They used to have a great Egyptian section. As far as food goes, all we eat down here is Eastern NC bbq pork, but I think we can get into a good restaurant for you and Paul to try it. Looking forward to seeing you in the fall.
