On the Road and Obamarama

I thought we’d share some of our favorite pictures and stories from the road. “Free Air” is always a good thing to have when you’re planning to breathe! And, the Sombrero Tower always indicates a classy establishment.

According to the Georgia billboards, their major productions must be Peach Cider and Fireworks. We indulged ourselves with a bottle of peach cider (yet to be tasted), a praline candy, and a small firework (also yet to be used).

I was also very surprised, and encouraged, by how much support we saw for Barack Obama while on the road and in the southern cities. Many cars and stores had Obama stickers and signs and a good number of people yelled their support to us from the street when they saw our bumper sticker. We met a Fletcher graduate who even left us 2 Obama pins on our windshield. I'm shocked, but there are many more Obama stickers around here than McCain or any other candidate.

Although the spring weather here is better than snow, we have encountered some crazy thunderstorms. In Savannah we went from 85 degrees and hot to torrential downpours and then back to sun. We once almost had to stop the car because we couldn't see through all the rain.

Another memerable moment was our quick stop in Meter, GA in search of some snacks for the car. Our thoughts were to pick up some carrots and hummus, but finding hummus was not as easy as planned. When Greg asked the cashier if they carried hummus he look at him in horror until pointing us toward the french onion dip and ranch. We settled for peanut butter.
