AHHHH, HOW I HAVE MISSED long roadtip days of driving for 5 plus hours straight... said no one ever. Well, maybe not ever. but certainly not a phrase that is uttered often. So yes, today is pretty much just a travel day from our hotel in Memphis down to our hotel in Louisiana. We are actually not going to be in the city of New Orleans till the day after tomorrow. But we will still be busy with lecture and other fun activites I'm not going to lie, I'm itching to get into the culture of the deep south. Even just driving through the past couple of days, some trends have become very apparent.
1. Southern hospitality is in fact a thing. People are nice and conversational. We went to a rest stop where they had people to sort of usher us inside to get brochures and free coffee.
2. Afternoon thunderstorms. It seems like every other place I go has thunderstorms for an hour or so in the afternoon. The sky can be clear as the day is long but the skeys will go dark and poor rain without fail.
3. Sunshowers are quite common. Though down here they have a lot of different names for it. My personal favorite is, the devil ia beating his wife.
4. You can't be bad at ordering. ALL southern food is good food. (unhealthy, yeah. But soooo good!!)
