Finish the damned trip
I'm not going to say that I procrastinate and lose focus, but it has taken a whole week after I returned to finish describing the trip.
Describe it I must, said Yoda! I took photos and got a slight bout of food poisoning, dangit, so I'm gonna finish it.
I met up with Myke in South Carolina. I knew that I would be crossing the Mason-Dixon line soon, so I was determined to get in my last bit of Southern food.
He took me here.
Nothing is more wonderful in the South than a family food restaurant.
It was a grease and starch festival. I could feel my body straining to absorb each little fat nugget or empty calorie.
It was delicious. Possibly too delicious. My system used to be accustomed to enormous plates of fried food and barbeque, but it has grown weak and puny during these years in the North. If I had drank any sweet tea, I would now be a dead man.
It could also be that they recognized me as an ex-pat, and that they tried to poison me. My stomach was a roiling mess by the time I rolled into DC.
DC was fun, since I hung out with my friends Frank and Jim. Matthew gave me underwear advice. Luis fled Baltimore. I got homesick to see the boyfriend, and got home.
Done? Done.
Except for this pic. I like the water tower.
Now I can start blogging about my normal craziness again. Thank the gods.

THE GAFFNEY PEACH!!!
I've peed on that peach. I've used it as a meeting place for separated convoys. I've made out in the tallgrass field behind the peach.
Ah, giant peach. Memories.
