The first leg

Posted in Travel, RPCV by Dom on October 31st, 2008

The trip has begun. I made it up to Notre Dame. Had a nice stop in Knoxville first though. It was nice to see Doug again; he was the first friend from Augusta that I’ve seen. Ridiculous. We went to some pretty sweet bars. One had a sign that said all shirts must have sleeves. At the next one there wasn’t a sign, or sleeves. The latter offered beer in 32oz Mason Jars. The draft Yuengling was pretty good. It’s a shame they don’t sell it in Georgia. Closed the night with some Krystals. It was a good night but it made waking up at 8am a bit more difficult.

The drive up was pretty unproblematic. The only issue I had was that I wanted to take the bypass around Cinncinati but the signs weren’t well marked and were still in Kentucky so I didn’t believe that I was there yet and missed the turn. It turned out not to be a problem at all. I’ve been taking photos. For the most part it feels pretty normal being home but seeing huge balls of chicken breast in the deli seemed really odd. I didn’t get a photo of that but I decided I’m going to use my camera like I would when I was in Malawi. As in just whippin’ it out at random times and snapping snaps of random things. I’ll pick the good ones when I’m done and post them up. Anyway, debating what time to wake up tomorrow. Either way calls for bed now.
