1. NEVER DRIVE 21 hours by yourself in one day. After the 18th hour and the reflectors start to look like people you know you should stop.
2. NEVER trust an embassy to get back to you in a "reasonable" amount of time.
3. A place where people live should never be this HOT. NY was in the 60s when I left. Today, in my car the temperature was 95?
I drove to Hammond, LA today to drop a friend off at the train station there. Despite the fact that it was felt like I had entered into the temperature of Hell. It was a beautiful drive. I missed the greenery that Louisiana possesses. This leads me to a list of things I love about today...
1. Babies... summer is when they final come out of the woodwork... doesn't matter if they are in strollers or attempting to walk... they were in their finest form today! :)
2. I enjoyed being looked in the face. Normally, I am scrutinized for looking at people or smiling ... or god forbid wave at someone... It is nice to be around people who smile won't run around the corner when someone approaches.
3. Food... I don't think I need to explain this one to those who have ever been to Louisiana and have had the food.
4. Bike ride... I took one today... that's all it was lovely.
