Down in the deep south!


Another day of driving in the sun and heat, but at least we are still talking to each other. Today, we drove clear through North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, and we have stopped for the night in Montgomery, Alabama - waaay down south!! Not a lot of excitement again today, although we are almost finished our second book of the trip - Jessica has been reading aloud to us as we drive (it's that, or listen to her IPod.......). For those who can't live without knowing, we are reading the Resident Evil books (like I said, it's that, or listen to her IPod, we have done both and well, you get the drift)! It has been a beautiful drive, though, Georgia and Alabama are absolutely spectacular. There is this particular vine we have noticed, though, which appears to have taken over down south. It grows on everything, even choking out trees. It does make for some pretty strange sights, that's for sure.

Navi did get back at me for complaining about her yesterday, though. Today, we wound up in downtown Atlanta in rush hour traffic! Unbelievable, 8 lanes EACH WAY, with traffic also using both shoulders, so effectively 10 lanes of traffic going our way, and the same number headed the other way - a literal wall of vehicles! There was a smog warning in downtown Atlanta today - go figure!
