We made it to Virginia.Our long drive is over and we made it safely across the nation. We thank God for His protection and safely taking us on our way.
As we traveled, I have learned some things since leaving the Midwest. There are some different cultural nuances that I have already experienced.
1. Chick-fil-A is all over the place (and is very tasty!).
2. Everyone waves when you drive or walk by them. Everyone. I was on a walk with the dog and a couple people walked out from their house to wave at me. Really? It felt kinda weird...
3. People enjoy talking. I could say that people do not seem to be in a hurry. We were in the bank taking care of some financial things and people in the lobby were just jabbing away as if they had no where else to go. I also noticed the extended talking at Liberty University as well. The workers just chat and gab and chat and chew and cluck and gab...
4. Everything is better with a little BBQ sauce. Lets cook something on the grill. We gotta get more BBQ sauce!
5. It is humid and hot. I know that it is humid and hot in the Midwest. I realize that there are days that are ridiculous in Minnesota. It is different in the south. It has been humid since we have been here. Hot - Hot - Hot!
6. Everyone loves college football. No one really cares about the NFL.
7. I know I already said it but...I love Chick-fil-A!!!
Overall, I am experiencing new things. I will continue to post anything new about our experiences in Virginia.
