Have you ever seen that show called “My 600 pound life?” Well today should have been named, “My 700 mile drive.” Equally traumatic. A 10 hr drive to Austin became a 13 hour marathon. Regardless, day one is over, and I’m in the company of one of my best friends! Also I’m in the most adorable bed/sofa thing that I’m going to try and steal. They won’t notice….
If you’re wondering why I decided to haul all the way from Pensacola to Austin in one day, it’s because I hate Alabama, Mississippi, and most of Louisiana. I just…. always feel like an outcast in those areas. Just imagine Panama City but without the beach and college crowd. I originally was going to stop at Sea Rim SP, but, opted to spend more time with friends.
Some highlights from today were seeing my little sis in Mobile, AL for coffee, and the Louisiana welcome center. They had free coffee and adorable old ladies asking where you were from and where you were headed. Other than that, I learned that I absolutely hate Houston, TX. That place could fall into the ocean tomorrow and I’d have to try hard to not laugh. Never ending construction plus asshole drivers never makes for a good combo.
Anyway, I’m tired, I miss my fiance, and my cuddly cats. Should be a fun weekend in Austin, then it’s off to the Big Bend region.
