That's my hometown of Durham, New Hampshire.
Yes, I am from northern New England (the only real part of New England), and I have in the past advocated for this region's secession from the rest of the country. It's not that I don't love California and Ohio and Colorado, it's just that I don't know that I want to be governed by them.
I know very little about the American South. For me, this road trip is partly to gain an appreciation of that area, partly to get out of the DC bubble, and mostly to have fun and explore with two good friends.
My mind is open. Give me your fried chicken and waffles. Show me the joys of ceiling fans made for the outdoors. Shower me with your twangy notes and soulful lyrics.
Just don't call me a Yankee.
Is that picture a still from this movie?

That would explain a lot.
Hey nice blog. And picture!
ReplyDeleteYou guys better go to Waffle Haus drunk at 3 AM, I hear that's pretty much required. Unless of course you've already done that because they have those in DC. I wouldn't know.
(By the way, I'm pretty sure that "Yankee" and "Jewish" are mutually exclusive ... so don't worry, you're not a Yankee.)
