Peaches and Lucha libre.

Esta manhana fuimos al Walmart al frente del hotelito/motel. Compre par de cosas para Sondag ya que en no lo vi en Puerto Rico. Al salir voy a otra tienda en el mismo complejo y que me encuentro con una senhora que conosco desde que soy pequenha pero hace como 5 anhos no veia. Cosas de la vida. Ella nos reconocio y pues nos detuvimos a hablar un rato tipico puertorro. Ella iba de camino a Tennessee a compartir con su familia. Esperamos verlos denuevo si podemos visitar su casa en Florida.

Luego n el camino nos detuvimos en una tiendita donde venden peaches frescos, mani y melones. Todavia no saliamos de Georgia. En la tienda el senhor que nos atendio nos pregunto de donde eramos y cuando mencionamos Puerto Rico el se fue en un viaje. Nos pregunto si sabiasmos de Carlitos Colon [wtf moment of the day]. Me dice si el de la lucha libre [lucha libre lo dijo en espa] despues me cuenta que en el 1987 el era luchador [eso entendi] y que estubo en gira por Aguadilla, Ponce y Mayaguez. Ademas de que se quedo en un hotel en San Juan. Hasta me conto que pelio con Hercules Ayala. Tristemente no alcance a tomar su nombre. Pero tiene que ser verdad o sea quien se acordaria de algo asi. Hasta me dijo si Carlitos el papa de Carlos el de la WWF asi que el senhor sabe de que habla.

Asi que ya porfin llegue a Orlando. Manhana parto para Cape Coral a ver el resto de la familia. Estoy tan casada pero es divertido ir en carro y pararse por ahi. Uno ve cosas diferentes. al fin que para eso son los roadtrips verdad. Creo que cuando regrese a Puerto Rico puedo cancelar mi celular o cuando se venza no sacarme mas ninguno. People dont call asi que entiendo que no necesito uno y si lo saco sera solo por el internet. Gracias.

In the middle of it.

Right now I’m in the “middle” of Georgia. In a town called Perry right on the I-75. We are staying at the Howard Johnson on the 136 exit. For $65.97 a night [tax included] you get HBO, free high speed internet [yey!!], shower, indoor pool, little fridge, iron w/table, microwave, table w/chairs and two full beds. I think that is a great deal for all that for just a night. The sun finally set up at 9:30pm all tired up we found this place.

[by the way all this photos here were taken by me/Reavel]

Now this are some of the towns we covered while in Georgia: Augusta, Suwanee and Athens. All this towns are very different in their own way but still very similar. They are calmed, people are very friendly. still you have to watch out for the normal racism in some areas [sorry but all the places I went to they all mentioned this  in a low key remember it is the south]. Suwanee is the closest to Atlanta but we didnt got there. Many will say that it is kind of boring cause it is too quite but I liked it because of that same reason. Still when you are from Puerto Rico at some point you will miss all the crowded places and noises all around you.

 

Other things I did learned is that you dont mess with the GeorgiaDogs. Bulldogs are the best thing ever down here. They are the mascot of all the athletic department of the University of Georgia. If you don’t know the history of this university you should give it a try cause it goes all the way back to 1785. You end up loving the bulldog and you will see  him EVERYWHERE. Other thing you will see around a lot are peaches. All over town. They even have a festival for them. Georgia is known as the “Peach State” because of the growers’ reputation for producing the highest quality fruit. The peach became the official state fruit in 1995.  [more info]

Augusta, Georgia

Salimos a las 6:40am de Orlando, Florida camino a Augusta, Georgia. Nunca he estado ahi asi que fue nuevo para mi sobre todo al ir en auto. Fue un LARGO camino nos detuvimos dos veces gasolina y necesidades obvias. Luego continuamos nuestra marcha.

A eso de las 6:00pm llegamos finalmente a Augusta. Tengo que decir que esto de los GPS junto con MapQuest es un exito. Todo es mas facil con esto asi que se los recomiendo grandemente. En fin que una vez llegamos al hogar de nuestras amistades todo fue super bien. Cenamos [we were starving and in NEED of stretching, etc]. Nos recibieron y luego de reposar un rato nos llevaron a conocer Augusta.

Augusta es un pueblito que parece campo pero es una ciudad. Es la segunda ciudad mas importante de el estado de Georgia. La universidad estatal esta bestial. Las casas estan nitidas gigantescas bien surenhas en sus arquitecturas. Tiene mucha antiguedad el pueblo. Muchos centros comerciales pequenhos por todos lados asi tambien restaurantes de comida rapida y no tan rapida. Sumamente tranquila el area. A pesar de ser viernes estaba tranquilo y salimos de ahi a las 9pm [del area downtown]. Imagino que es que era muy temprano.

Las fotos que estan a continuacion fueron tomadas en el Riverwalk Marina. Ese rio que ven ahi es la frontera entre Carolina del Sur y Georgia. Si quiere visitar algun lugar que no sea ni NYC ni Florida se los recomiendo aunque sea estar un dia o dos por si no soportas la tranquilidad del lugar. Si te gusta el golf pues pasate por Augusta que ahi es donde se celebran anualmente las competencias The Masters Tournament del deporte de golf. Gigantesco el field. Atlanta es mas crowded y loud.

Things I’ve learned

Things I’ve learned this past two days

  1. Dont ever take things for granted.
  2. Parents never ever change they only modify their conduct for better or worst.
  3. There is always a snoring competition in the room I stay.
  4. Always bring few clothing there is always a washer or drier near you. Other choice hand wash your inner clothing. Always works.
  5. Don’t think you can pay every time you go out. It feels good but your budget will be compromised.
  6. Don’t take towels with you. You can always or most of the time borrow some in the place you wills stay.
  7. Family members can also be depressed. Cheer them up. Help them out. It is family at the end. Maybe that was the whole purpose of the travel without you even knowing it.
  8. Don’t get to comfy on the sofa go out. Even when the weather seems like not good at all.
  9. There are always oranges around Florida remember that and get used to it already.
  10. Publix is an amazing supermarket. Very varied and the employees are cool. [at least the one I went to in Colonial Dr.]
  11. Windows Vista still sucks.
  12. I’ve shared too much body parts around. Those that know what I am talking about know. If you dont Don’t ask I wont answer. Thank you!
  13. Guys that live alone can become great cookers.
  14. The AC will be on 24/7 365 days of the year. Wish I could do that back home.
  15. Don’t drink a lot the first day you get to a place. You wont feel that good the second day of your trip and you could also ruin the rest of your trip. [be careful]
  16. Midnight hugs can be the best thing ever. Hey there Delilah. Who is Delilah? Yes, I know Delilah.
  17. It is good to miss people. Only then you know how valuable they are for you.
  18. When you are traveling try writing to someone you miss while you are having fun. Let them or show them you are thinking about them. *Note to self: write to Ryan.
  19. Why Georgia? Why? Great song by John Mayer [video]
