Travels stopping....for a while
I arrived in Memphis today around 4:00 without any trouble. My travels went well and I will be parked here for a few.
As I headed to the neighbourhood where I am staying, I noticed something was really different but I could not tell what it was. Finally, after a while it hit me, there was green grass everywhere. They told me that they had an exchange student one time from a desert place that had never seen grass and his first question was, "What is this green stuff?"
Miscellaneous moments or missed memories:
-when I realised that these long kilometers were miles. Something about crossing the border never struck my mind but I know 100 miles is definitely longer than 100 kilometers.
-I was also hopeful to find a Mexican restuarant to deliver to the hotel...haha, ya right. You have just about anything delivered in Mexico, not that I did but it would have been nice.
-I now understand why my friends were scared of people when they came to the United States. I was ready to leave Dallas quicker than I did.
-It is sticky and nasty here too. I want the dry heat back.
-I have to pump my own gas now.
