Georgia

There were many things I was uncertain of when I went down to Georgia to visit my brother. I wasn't sure how I would like the south and southerners, there was also a certain girl that I wasn't sure where things would lead with her and I wasn't sure how hot it would be. Needless to say all things listed surprised the snot out of me.
Firstly Anna, with her cute impatience on whether or not I had feelings for her, cornering me at night and determined to find out which I am glad she did because now we are together. I don't think the way I feel about her is because we are in the "new" phase but because we seem to balance each other out on some mysterious and Cosmic level. I actually find it strange how right she seems for me, don't get me wrong I am happy about it, but it's weird too. She definitely made my three and half weeks that much sweeter. Her family was great too, her brothers and cousins are hilarious and seem like really good people.
Secondly people in the south in my opinion are a lot more polite than people up north. Let's face it we are all snobs up here. The food down there is great too and they know how to BBQ also which is not the case up here. Food is cheaper and I mean fast food and you get a larger meal for it too, I didn't understand it but I didn't complain either. The humidity however was like a punch in the face and I did not expect it to be that intense. What was funny about the humidity was that everyone but me was immune to it. Here I was feeling like I stepped into a sweat lodge and everyone else just walking around normally, thank God for Josh's A/C. On the plus side I got a nice farmers tan. Six Flags Atlanta was like a furnace but I had so much fun I didn't care. I never thought I'd go on a Roller Coaster but I pretty much let Anna cast a spell on me to get me to go on one and I'm glad she did!
Lastly the south charmed the pants off of me with its scenery and simplicity. The hospitality and generousity of my Bro and his fiancee were classic staple of southern life too. It felt like I should have been born down there, it had the right balance of progress and nature for me and that was something I didn't expect. The whole time I was down there I had this other worldly feeling that I couldn't quite grasp. I look forward to going down there again sometime soon and spending more time with my brother since he'll be done with school, as well as Anna and her family. Looking forward to making many more great memories.
